Product Information

So, at the end of the day, is baking cake in your air fryer a piece of cake? Not exactly. But it can be easy as pie once you get the hang of it: converting your recipes to a smaller pan; baking at a lower temperature; and using foil, a cover, or a yummy topping to ensure the cake’s top crust doesn’t burn.

What if you really, really want to bake a full-size 8” or 9” round layer? You can absolutely do it; you just have to take certain measures to prevent the top from burning while the center of the cake bakes. More on that later. 3) Determine time and temperatureMost standard air fryers come with auto-programs such as air fry, bake, roast and grill, but some premium models or multicookers will come with programs such as dehydrate, reheat, pressure cook, slow cook, steam and sauté – so you can get as creative as you like. My second favorite pan? The 6” round, which holds half the batter of an 8” square/round or 9” round, or one-quarter that of a sheet cake. Since you may very well experience some failures before you nail the right combination of recipe, pan, time, and temperature for your particular air fryer, start with a basic recipe. I highly recommend our original Cake Pan Cake, a single-layer chocolate cake using everyday ingredients. Once you’ve figured out how to use your fryer to bake this easy cake, you can apply what you’ve learned to other recipes. The most obvious option is to use a small amount of oil to coat the food or the basket/tray – a good way to apply oil is to use a spray. If you want to avoid oil altogether, you can line the bottom of the basket or tray with baking paper (as mentioned previously, ensure you're not covering any heating elements). Each appliance works slightly differently, but here's the general process for getting started with a new air fryer:

Vegetables cook brilliantly in an air fryer and come out with a light, crisp texture. Fish and meat also cook well in air fryers, with some models featuring two cooking compartments, so you can cook your meat and vegetables at the same time, without them touching. Place the air fryer on a stable surface away from other objects and appliances and ensure the power cable is not twisted. Air fryers are pretty new gadgets so it’s no wonder we have questions. If you're intrigued by all the buzz, but want to know more before you part with your cash, you've come to the right place. Their compact cooking space and faster circulation of air allows you to make crispy, golden-brown food using a very small amount of oil. 2. How much food can an air fryer hold? Over the course of numerous experiments, I’ve retrofitted several of my favorite cake recipes to bake in the air fryer: one “neutral” vanilla (perfect for flavoring) and one chocolate. If you’re looking for a place to start, I recommend beginning with either of these recipes. My go-to vanilla air fryer cake: Chef Zeb’s Hot Milk CakeAir fryers are incredibly versatile appliances, so there aren't many things you can't cook in an air fryer. If you do a like-for-like comparison of chips cooked in a deep fat fryer to those cooked in an air fryer, the latter absorbs significantly less oil and therefore, has fewer calories. So if you’re swapping deep frying for air frying, you’ll definitely be making a positive change to your diet, with a significant reduction in the amount of fat you consume. Instead of the options above, try an edible topping baked straight into the cake. Not only does adding a topping midway through the bake keep your cake’s top crust from getting too brown, but it also means you don’t have to think about frosting later: Your cake is ready to enjoy right out of the fryer. For general cleaning, unplug the air fryer and then use a microfibre cloth or soft sponge and wash all removable parts in warm soapy water. The main unit with the heating element should not be submerged in water, but you can still clean the outside of the air fryer with a damp cloth.

When making a full-size cake, you’ll need to shield its top from burning as it bakes through; that’s simply a fact of air-fryer cake life. And you have a couple of choices here. Streusel topping transforms simple hot milk cake into a crumb coffeecake, protecting the cake's top crust from over-browning in the process. 4) Prevent the cake’s top crust from burningThe baking time will probably be a bit longer than what your recipe calls for if you use a full-size (e.g., 8” round) pan; smaller pans will require less time. Carefully remove the tray or basket from the air fryer after the beeping sound indicates the end of cooking. Be mindful of hot steam. We've collected and answered some of the most commonly asked questions around what air fryers are, how they work and the best way to use them. Unlike a deep fat fryer, where food is submerged in hot oil, an air fryer uses convection heat. Air fryers circulate hot air to cook the food, similar to a fan oven and rely on a chemical process known as the Maillard reaction to crisp up the exterior of food, with tasty results.
