Easy air fryer funfetti cake
We all need cake sometimes, so why not make it in under an hour in the air fryer? The Kitchen Bucket List loves giving you a tasty and quick dessert.
Equipment
- Air Fryer
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons salted butter, softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 6 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ⅛ cup unbleached all-purpose flour
- ½ tablespoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons sprinkles
Instructions
- Line a 6-inch pan with parchment paper and butter the parchment and the side of the pan. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, with a hand mixer, mix eggs, butter, and sugar until all ingredients are combined and creamy, about 2 minutes
- Add cream, oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until all incorporated. You will have a smooth texture
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the sprinkles to the flour and mix until all sprinkles are coated.
- Slowly add the flour mixture to the egg mixture. Mix until all incorporated, and you don't see any more dry flour, but do not over mix. I prefer to use a whisk or large spatula for this step so I don’t overmix.
- Pour half the mixture into a prepared 6-inch cake pan, and keep the remaining in the fridge
- Cook in the air fryer on manual at 320℉ for 15 to 18 minutes or until the cake is nice and golden. A good check to know the cake is done is to insert a toothpick. If it comes out clean the cake is done.
- Cool off for a few minutes in the air fryer basket, then transfer the pan to a cooling rack. Remove the cake from the pan and pull the parchment paper off.
- Cook your remaining batter as above.
- Let the cake cool completely before icing.
- Use your favorite vanilla buttercream to ice the cake once it is completely cooled.
- Serve and Enjoy!
Notes
- This batter makes enough for 2 cakes in a 6-inch pan. I only have one pan, but if you have 2 you can prepare both and keep the second one in the fridge until ready to bake.
- I would not suggest cooking both at the same time. I have noticed they bake more evenly when doing one at a time.
