Looking for an easy dessert recipe to impress your friends and family? Look no further than this chocolate dump cake! With just a few simple ingredients, you can make this delicious air fryer chocolate dump cake in no time. So what are you waiting for? Whip up this tasty treat today!

Air Fryer Chocolate Dump Cake

I love easy air fryer cakes; try this air fryer chocolate dump cake; it’s amazing! And in minutes, you can have a quick air fryer dessert!

What Is A Dump Cake?

A dump cake is a simple and easy dessert with little preparation.

Simply put a layer of fruit on the bottom of the pan, add some other ingredients in layers over the top, and bake it all together until the topping is golden brown. The result is an incredibly moist and flavorful dessert that can be made with nearly any combination of fruits!

The origins of this recipe are somewhat unclear, although most people believe that its name stems from the fact that it’s “a cake you can just dump in a pan.” This makes it a perfect choice for anyone who loves sweets but doesn’t want to spend much time in the kitchen!

Can You Cook A Dump Cake In Air Fryer?

The answer to this question is yes – you can cook a dump cake in an air fryer.

Air frying is a great, healthy way to prepare food because it uses hot air instead of oil or butter to cook your food. It tastes delicious and is much better for you than other cooking methods.

A dump cake recipe usually calls for fruit and cake mix – so if you’re using a boxed mix, follow the package directions slightly differently. You’ll need to use an air fryer pan or a stainless steel bowl that will fit in your air fryer basket, and you can either layer the fruit on top of the mix or mix them.

Ingredients Needed For Air Fryer Chocolate Dump Cake

The Air Fryer craze is still going strong, and for a good reason! They make cooking so much easier and more convenient. Today we will show you how to make an Air Fryer Chocolate Dump Cake that is delicious and easy to make. The ingredients you will need are:

Ingredients Needed For Air Fryer Chocolate Dump Cake
  • Chocolate Cake Mix: Use any chocolate cake mix; I recommend you not purchase one with mixed pudding.
  • Butter: Use unsalted butter that has been melted
  • Instant Chocolate Pudding: Make sure that you use instant chocolate pudding!
  • Milk: Use any milk, including almond milk, whole milk, or even coconut milk.
  • Chocolate Chips: Use semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips for the best flavor!

  • Pan: To make the best chocolate dump cake, use a thin pan to ensure it cooks fully. I have listed some of my favorite cake pans in the air fryer.

Recipe Notes

What To Top Your Dump Cake With

Indulge your sweet tooth with a mix of crunchy and gooey delights! Top off the perfect dessert with chopped candy, nuts, toffee chips, or other types of baking chips for an extra layer of flavor. Then finish it by adding some caramel sauce drizzle – sure to make every bite sweeter than the last!

Chocolate Chips: You can use white, butterscotch, or dark chocolate chips. My son loves using peanut butter chocolate chips.

What Cake Pans To Use In The Air Fryer

The main advice I give everyone is that you need to use a thin pan so that it cooks up fully; some of my favorite cake pans are: remember the size of the pan will depend on the air fryer you are using.
