Air Fryer Vanilla Cake

If there’s one appliance you must have in your kitchen, it’s the Air fryer. Use it to fry foods, heat up leftovers, and even bake a cake! This easy, light vanilla cake is made in the Airfryer instead of the oven, which means it’s less likely to burn.

What makes the Airfryer different is its small size. Because it’s much smaller than an oven, it heats up very quickly, which means you can bake a cake in less time than with a traditional oven. The flavor of this Airfryer Cake is that of delicate vanilla, while the texture of the crumb is moist, tender, soft, and fluffy.

Don’t wait any longer! Grab the flour, sugar, eggs, and other cake ingredients and get baking. It might just become your new favorite recipe.
