How To Make Air Fryer Blueberry Pound Cake
To make Air Fryer Blueberry Pound Cake, follow these steps:
In a small bowl, mix the blueberries and 1/4 cup all-purpose flour. Let stand (they will be mixed in later)
Cream together the butter and sugar. Mix the eggs and vanilla extract into the creamed butter and sugar.
Add the flour, baking powder, and salt, and mix well. Mix the blueberries into the mixture into the batter.
Pour the batter into a prepared loaf pan (sprayed with olive oil). Set into the air fryer for 14-20 minutes at 320 degrees F. (air fryer setting). The exact time will depend on what pan you use. The smaller loaf pans will cook quicker than the regular size loaf pans.
Pro Tips:
- Measuring the flour is an essential part of this recipe. Spoon it in without pressing it down. If you have any questions, read this article to help you become a pro baker.
- Use mini loaf pans for best results.
- Spray your pan with non-stick cooking spray or baking spray, so your pound cake is easy to remove.
- Remember, all air fryers cook at slightly different times, so watch your Air Fryer Blueberry Pound Cake as it air fries.
- You can use frozen blueberries instead, but keep them frozen.
How Do You Keep Blueberries From Falling in a Cake?
The easy way is to coat them with a small amount of all-purpose flour, which will let them be weighted down to be found throughout the bread.
Why Is It Called Pound Cake?
After the ingredients, it is traditionally called pound cake, which includes a pound of butter, sugar, eggs, and flour.
Is Pound Cake and Loaf Cake The Same Thing?
A pound cake has specific ingredients, including butter, sugar, eggs, and flour. Although it’s cooked in the shape of traditional quick bread, the ingredients are slightly different.
How To Store:
If you have any leftover Air Fryer or Blueberry Pound Cake, let it cool to room temperature, then cover it with plastic wrap. Leave it at room temperature, where it will last for 2 to 3 days.
For any longer, place it in the refrigerator, which will last for about a week.
How To Freeze
This bread freezes perfectly if you want to make a double batch and freeze some. Let the bread cool to room temperature, then wrap in saran wrap followed by foil. Place the wrapped bread into a freezer bag and then into the freezer.
It will stay good for about 1 to 2 months.
Thaw in the refrigerator or on the counter. Before serving, you may heat the bread up in the microwave or air fryer.
Can Loaf Pans Be Used In The Air Fryer?
While you probably have a loaf pan in your kitchen, I would highly recommend using a mini loaf pan. Since an air fryer works by hot air spinning around the food, the bread in the middle may be raw if you use too thick a pan. So, for best results, use a mini loaf pan.
