Air Fryer Cookie Butter Cakes Recipe Tips
- Use room temperature eggs: Helps the batter mix smoothly and evenly.
- Grease ramekins well: Prevents sticking and makes it easy to remove the cakes.
- Check doneness early: Air fryer times may vary; start checking at 10 minutes.
- Don’t overmix: Mix just until ingredients are combined for a tender, soft cake.
- Serve warm: These cakes taste best when served slightly warm, with optional ice cream.
- Add toppings if desired: Drizzle caramel, chocolate, or sprinkle nuts for extra flavor.
- Let cool slightly before serving: Ensures the cakes hold their shape when plated.
Storing Instructions
- Room Temperature: Store cooled cakes in an airtight container for up to 1 day.
- Refrigerator: Keep in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Reheat slightly before serving.
- Freezer: Wrap individual cakes tightly in plastic wrap and place in a freezer-safe container. Freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator.
- Reheating: Warm in the air fryer at 300°F for 2–3 minutes or in the microwave for 15–30 seconds until warmed through.
Air Fryer Cookie Butter Cakes Recipe Faqs
Can I use homemade cookie butter instead of store-bought? Yes, homemade cookie butter works perfectly; just ensure it’s smooth and spreadable.
Do I have to use ramekins? Ramekins are best for individual cakes, but any small, oven-safe dish that fits your air fryer works.
How do I know when the cakes are done? The cakes should be set on top and a toothpick inserted in the center should come out mostly clean.
Can I make them ahead of time? You can prep the batter in advance and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before cooking.
What toppings go well with these cakes? Try vanilla ice cream, chocolate drizzle, caramel sauce, or chopped nuts for extra flavor.
Can I freeze these cakes? Yes, wrap them individually and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator.
Can I double the recipe? Yes, but cook in batches so the air fryer heats evenly for each cake.
