• Butter: Use unsalted butter, which is at room temperature.
• Sugars: Use a blend of brown sugar and white granulated sugars.
• Canola Oil: Use canola or vegetable oil.
• Pumpkin Puree: Make sure you do not use pumpkin pie filling. Otherwise, your cake will be too sweet.
• Eggs: Use large, room temperature eggs
• Vanilla Extract: For the best flavor, use pure vanilla extract.
• Milk: For best results, use whole milk, but you can also use oat milk, almond milk, or a dairy-free alternative.
• All-Purpose Flour: You can also use gluten-free all-purpose flour to make a gluten-free air fryer pumpkin cake.
• Baking Soda and Baking Powder; Both help your cake rise.
• Seasonings/Spices: Salt, Pumpkin Pie Spice, and Ground Cinnamon.

How Cook Pumpkin Layer Cake In The Air Fryer

Spray your cake pan with cooking spray. Then in a large bowl, cream the brown sugar, white granulated sugar, and butter. Beat until the sugars are fluffy. Fold in the oil and pumpkin. Scrape the sides down, so the mixture is well combined.

Then add the eggs, and vanilla extract, and mix well. Then in another bowl, add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, pumpkin spice, and ground cinnamon. Mix well. Then fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients.

Divide the cake batter into two pans (the size will be determined by the size of your air fryer) I was able to make two eight-inch cakes.

Pro Tips For The Best Air Fryer Layered Cake

Looking for an air fryer dessert that will wow your guests? This layered cake is perfect! Follow these pro tips to make sure it turns out perfectly.

• Canned Pumpkin: For the best results, use a good quality canned pumpkin, I usually use Libby’s, for the best flavor. And it’s not overly sweetened or seasoned, so you get a great flavor cake!
• Flour: The most important ingredient in this recipe, besides the pumpkin, is flour. Make sure that the flour is actually measured.
• Egg: Use room temperature eggs, this way the eggs, melt into the batter.
• Don’t Overmix: For the best results, do not overmix the cake. This way the gluten does not get too released, which will lead to a dense cake.
• Timing: Since every air fryer is different, you need to watch these cakes as they cook up, and ensure they are perfectly cooked.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I use the batter for cupcakes?

Yes! If you want to make cupcakes with this batter, you certainly can. Check on the cupcakes, since they will need a shorter cooking time than the cake.

Can I make this cake ahead of time?

Yes, this is an easy recipe that you can make ahead of time, although I do not recommend frosting, until right before serving.

Wrap the cakes in saran or plastic wrap, and then place them in the refrigerator. The cakes will last for about 2 to 3 days. Then right before you are going to frost, let the cake come to room temperature, for about 20 to 30 minutes.

Is this cake-freezer-friendly?

This pumpkin spice cake is freezer-friendly! It’s best to skip frosting the cake if you plan on freezing it, as the frosting does not defrost well.

To Freeze: Let the cakes come to room temperature, then wrap the cakes tightly with saran wrap, and then a layer of aluminum foil. Finally, place the wrapped cakes into a freezer bag or freezer-safe container. They will last for about 2 to 3 months.

To use, let the cakes defrost overnight in the refrigerator. Then frost the cakes.
