Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened Adds richness
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs Helps bind everything together
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk Keeps the cake moist

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your air fryer to 320°F (160°C), and grease your mini cake pans well.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In another bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract until fully combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry flour mixture, alternating with the buttermilk, until everything is blended—be careful not to overmix.
Cooking
  1. Pour the batter into the prepared mini cake pans, filling each about two-thirds full to allow them to rise.
  2. Place the pans in the air fryer basket and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  3. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for about 5 minutes, then carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

To enhance the flavor, consider adding chocolate chips or nuts. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream for extra indulgence. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
