Air Fryer Banana Bread Dump Cake
Description
This Air Fryer Banana Bread Dump Cake layers mashed ripe bananas, dry yellow cake mix, and melted butter into a warm, gooey dessert with a golden, buttery topping. Three ingredients, no mixing, and ready in about 25 minutes.
Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 13.25 ounces yellow cake mix, or vanilla cake mix
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, optional
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, optional
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or chocolate chips, optional
Instructions
- Mash the 2 ripe bananas in a bowl until smooth.
- Grease an air fryer-safe cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Spread the mashed bananas evenly across the bottom of the pan.
- Sprinkle the 1 box yellow cake mix evenly over the bananas. Do not stir.
- Drizzle the 1/2 cup melted butter over the cake mix, covering as much of the surface as possible.
- Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 cup brown sugar, and 1/2 cup walnuts or chocolate chips, if using.
- Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for 3 minutes.
- Place the pan in the air fryer basket and cook for 20–25 minutes, until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let cool 5–10 minutes. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Equipment
- Air fryer-safe cake pan (6–7 inch)
- Parchment Paper, optional
Notes
- Cook time varies by air fryer model and pan size. Start checking at 20 minutes.
- If the top browns before the center is set, loosely tent the pan with foil for the remaining time.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
