Description

A rich, fudgy, and decadent gluten-free chocolate cake made with simple ingredients and baked perfectly in the air fryer. This elegant dessert is ideal for holidays, special occasions, or anytime you're craving intense chocolate flavor.

Ingredients 

  • 8 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • 4 large eggs
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Grease a 6-inch or 7-inch cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler, melt the dark chocolate and butter together until smooth. Let cool slightly.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and granulated sugar until the mixture becomes lighter in color and slightly thickened.
  • Add the melted chocolate mixture to the eggs and whisk until combined.
  • Stir in the cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt until the batter is smooth.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 320 degrees F if your model requires preheating.
  • Place the pan into the air fryer basket and air fry for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center has a slight jiggle.
  • Remove the cake from the air fryer and let it cool in the pan for 15 minutes.
  • Transfer to a wire rack and cool completely before serving.

Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • 6-inch or 7-inch cake pan or springform pan

Notes

Use high-quality dark chocolate for the best flavor.
  • The center of the cake should remain slightly soft when removed from the air fryer.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing.
  • Dust with powdered sugar, top with whipped cream, or frost with chocolate ganache or white frosting.
  • Air fryer cooking times may vary depending on the model.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Freezing: Wrap the cooled cake tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
Reheating
  • Microwave individual slices for 10 to 15 seconds.
