Description

Air Fryer Banana Cake is truly amazing! This might be the best banana cake I have ever eaten. It's light, it's flavorful, and it's absolutely delicious!

Ingredients 

  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk, or buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Prep the Batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the mashed bananas. Mix in the vanilla extract. Gradually mix in the flour mixture alternately with the buttermilk until just combined.
  • Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 320°F (160°C).
  • Pour and Flatten: Pour the batter into a greased, air fryer-safe cake pan and spread it out evenly.
  • Cook in Air Fryer: Place the cake pan in the air fryer basket. Cook for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
  • Cool and Serve: Once done, carefully remove the cake from the air fryer and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve!
