Air Fryer Mini Dark Chocolate Cake
Making a cake in the air fryer is easier than you might think! In under an hour, you'll have a delicious, moist chocolate cake ready for dessert. Top with fresh berries or confectioners' sugar.
Ingredients:
- ¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, plus more for pan
- 3 tablespoons dutch-process cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons low-fat buttermilk
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce
- 4 ½ teaspoons neutral oil, such as canola or avocado
- 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 ounce dark chocolate, chopped
- 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar and/or cocoa powder
- 1 cup fresh mixed berries
Directions:
- Preheat air fryer to 320℉. Coat a 6-inch round cake pan with cooking spray. Line the pan bottom with parchment or wax paper. Flour the pan, tapping out excess.
- Combine flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a small bowl. Whisk buttermilk, applesauce, oil, espresso powder and vanilla in another small bowl.
- Place egg in a medium bowl; beat with an electric mixer on low speed. Gradually add sugar. Increase the mixer speed to high and continue beating until the mixture is thick and pale, about 2 minutes.
- Alternately fold the dry ingredients and the buttermilk mixture into the egg mixture with a rubber spatula, making 3 additions of dry ingredients and 2 additions of buttermilk mixture. Fold in chocolate.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and place in the air-fryer basket. Cook until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Let cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove from the pan. Remove parchment (or wax) paper. Let cool completely on the rack.
- Serve the cake topped with confectioners' sugar (and/or cocoa powder) and mixed berries.
