Notes

Skimmed. It is important that you add fat free/skimmed milk rather than full fat. It is thinner and thick milk will stop the cake from being moist.

Cheat. You can cheat and use shop bought box cake and follow our air fryer box cake recipe.

Portions. My hubby loves his cake and slices big cake slices. If you are doing a kid’s birthday party, you could easily get 16 portions out of this cake.

Quality. It does make a big difference in air fryer cakes if you use quality ingredients. I recommend you avoid the cheap supermarket brands of flour. In my Grandma’s day it was always branded flour such as Bero.
