Air Fryer Classic Southern Pound Cake

Air Fryer Classic Southern Pound Cake is a great and easy recipe, made with a few ingredients and cooked up to perfection in the Air Fryer.

This cake is light, moist, and utterly declous, and it remains moist, while you are baking in the Air Fryer.

The air fryer is very good at making cakes. They bake up so airy due to the hot air circulating around the cake, baking up perfectly. And with a Bundt Cake, you do not have to worry about the middle cooking up, as the Bundt Cake eliminates that problem.

What Is A Pound Cake?

A pound cake is called a pound cake because it’s actually one of the simplest recipes in the world, named for the measurements of the ingredients.

They include a pound of butter, a pound of eggs, a pound of butter, and a pound of flour. While that would produce a huge cake, I scaled it down for a simple Bundt Cake Recipe.
