Directions
- 1
Preheat your air fryer to 180 °C (350 °F) for 5 minutes.
- 2
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until the yolks and whites are fully combined.
- 3
Add the sugar and whisk until completely dissolved.
- 4
Pour in the oil, milk, and vanilla extract, stirring until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
- 5
Sift the flour and fold it in gradually, mixing gently after each addition.
- 6
Add the baking powder and stir briefly just to incorporate — do not overmix.
- 7
Grease and flour a baking pan that fits inside your air fryer, then pour in the batter.
- 8
Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil (shiny side down), pressing the edges firmly so it won't lift during cooking.
- 9
Cook at 180 °C (350 °F) for 20 minutes.
- 10
Insert a toothpick in the center — if it comes out clean, the cake is done. If not, continue for 5 to 10 more minutes.
- 11
Remove the foil and bake for a final 3 to 5 minutes to achieve a lightly golden top.
💡 Chef's Tip
For a fun twist, fold in a handful of chocolate chips or the zest of one lemon before baking. Avoid overmixing after adding the baking powder to keep the cake light and airy.
