  • Add the egg and almond extract, mixing until well combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk almond flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, creating a smooth batter.
  • Preheat your air fryer to 320°F (160°C).
  • Grease a small ramekin or oven-safe cake pan that fits comfortably in your air fryer basket.
  • Pour the almond cake batter into the greased ramekin or cake pan.
  • Place the ramekin or cake pan in the preheated air fryer basket.
  • Air fry for approximately 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Keep an eye on it, as cooking times may vary.
  • While the cake cools, prepare a simple almond glaze by whisking powdered sugar, almond extract, and water until smooth.
