Air Fryer Chocolate Cake

This is a great and easy recipe for making a homemade chocolate cake, right in the air fryer. What is better than an Air Fryer Chocolate Cake?

If you have been looking for an easy chocolate cake recipe this is the one to try, and most of the ingredients if not all are probably in your pantry.

The air fryer produces a moist and perfect cake. Today, I opted to use a bundt cake pan, because I believe that they cook perfectly in the air fryer, don’t have to fret about the middle cooking. And second, I think it looks really pretty.

How To Make Chocolate Cake:

Ingredients:

Flour: Today I used all-purpose, but feel free to switch it out for whole wheat or gluten-free. Note, the texture might change a bit.

Sugar:  I used regular granulated sugar.

Unsweetened Cocoa Powder: I opted to use unsweetened, since using sweetened in baking, tends to produce an end product that is too sweet.

Baking Soda:  Using baking soda in cakes produces the cakes to rise, and become light and fluffy.

Vanilla Extract: Use a good vanilla extract, as it gives a lot of flavor to baked goods.

Vegetable Oil:  I like using vegetable oil in baked goods because they produce a moist cake.

Here Are The Simple Steps to Make A Chocolate Cake In the Air Fryer-

Tips For Making A Homemade Cake From Scratch

• Measure the flour accurately, it’s one of the biggest reasons that homemade cakes fail. The flour is one of the most important ingredients in the cake.
• Use fresh ingredients, the egg, butter, and baking powder all need to be fresh in order for them to produce the best results.
• Check the cake frequently in the air fryer, so it doesn’t over bake.

Can I Use Gluten-Free Baking Flour In This Cake?

Absolutely, use the same amount as called for in the recipe.

You can also substitute it out for whole-wheat flour or a mixture of whole-wheat and all-purpose flour.

How Far In Advance Can I Make This Cake?

I usually make it no more than 2 days ahead of time, otherwise, over time it will become dried out.

If you do make it ahead of time, make sure that you secure it with saran wrap, so that all of the air is removed.

Can you cook cakes in an Air Fryer?

Absolutely, it’s really easy, baking is perfected in the air fryer because the air naturally circulates.

I like to air fry my cakes at 320 degrees F, air fryer setting so that they don’t dry out, I find that air frying at a higher temperature will cause the outside to become brown before the inside is completely baked.

How to Store the Cake–

You can usually make a cake a day or two before you need it. Just allow the cake to completely cool before you store it. I usually wrap it in saran wrap. If you would like to freeze the cake, simply wrap it up and it will keep for about a month. To use the cake after freezing it, simply let defrost in either the refrigerator or at room temperature.
