Ingredients Needed

• Almond Flour: Almond flour provides this cake’s nutty and rich almond flavor
• Granulated Sugar: Sweetens the cake.
• Unsalted Butter: Adds moisture, richness, and a buttery flavor to the cake.
• Eggs: Acts as a binding agent and contribute to the cake’s structure.
• Almond Extract: Intensifies the almond flavor.
• Baking Powder: The leavening agent responsible for the cake’s rise.
• Salt: Balances the sweetness and bringing out the almond’s nuttiness.
• Powdered Sugar: Sweetens and thickens the glaze.

• Milk or Almond Milk: Used to thin the powdered sugar into a pourable consistency for the glaze.
• Almond Extract: Added to the glaze to reinforce the almond flavor.

How To Make Easy Air Fryer Almond Cake

Step One: In a mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and almond extract and mix until well combined.

Step Two: Whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt in a separate bowl. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until you have a smooth batter.

Step Three: Preheat your air fryer temperature to 320 degrees F (160°C). Grease a cake pan or oven-safe dish that fits comfortably in your air fryer basket. Pour the almond cake batter into the greased cake pan.

Step Four: Place the pan in the preheated air fryer basket. Set cook time for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cooking times may vary depending on your air fryer model, so keep an eye on it.

Step Five: While the cake is cooling, you can prepare a simple almond glaze. Whisk together powdered sugar, almond extract, and water in a small bowl until you achieve a smooth and pourable consistency. Once the cake has cooled slightly, drizzle the almond glaze over the top.
