How To Make the delicious Cake in an Air fryer
I am sharing my first attempt at making a cake in an Air fryer, Though the surface was slightly cracked after air frying the taste and texture weren't much different from a regular cake baked in Oven or Kadai. Assuming the cracked surface was due to high temperature, we should try it out at 150 or 140 degrees Celsius next time.
For me, it was really surprising to know that apart from reheating pizza and cooking the perfect steak, baking can also be done in an air fryer.
After trying it myself, I felt it was more convenient than using an oven to make cake in an air fryer. I tried several recipes in the Air fryer including mug cake, baked oats, pizza, Falafel, etc.
all the recipes came out well and I would recommend Air Fryer for a healthy lifestyle.
