How To Make Air Fryer Pound Cake Cupcakes

Here are the simple steps:

Spray your silicone muffin tins with cooking spray, or line your muffin tin with muffin liners.

Cream together the butter, sugar, and vanilla in a large bowl. Add the eggs and beat until smooth. Add the flour, baking powder, and salt, and beat until combined. Be careful not to over-mix.

Divide the batter between the ten lined muffin wells. Set the temperature to 320 degrees F, for 10 to 12 minutes, for air fryer setting. Remove when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Let the cupcakes cool for about 10 minutes in the pan, and then transfer them to a wire rack to finish cooling.

If desired, once they’re cool, top each cupcake with whipped cream and a few fresh berries.
