Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your air fryer to 320°F (160°C).
- Grease a cake pan that fits into your air fryer with 2 teaspoons of butter. Set aside.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together 2/3 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon cardamom. Set aside.
- In a separate large mixing bowl, crack in the 3 eggs and beat them until they are light and frothy.
- Add the Greek yogurt to the beaten eggs and mix until well combined.
- Gradually add the sugar and cardamom mixture to the egg and yogurt mixture, stirring continuously until fully combined.
- Gently fold in 1 cup of self-raising flour into the wet mixture. Stir until no lumps remain and you have a smooth batter.
- Pour the batter into the greased cake pan, spreading it out evenly.
- Place the cake pan into the preheated air fryer. Bake at 320°F (160°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- While the cake is baking, prepare the lemon drizzle by mixing 1 cup of powdered sugar with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice in a small bowl. Stir until the mixture is smooth and slightly runny.
- Once the cake is baked, remove it from the air fryer and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once the cake has cooled, use a spoon to drizzle the lemon glaze over the top of the cake, allowing it to run down the sides. Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving.
- Slice the cake and enjoy your delicious air fryer lemon drizzle cake!
Tips:
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing to achieve a smoother batter.
- Grease your air fryer basket or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Do not overmix the batter to maintain a light and airy texture.
- Check the cake with a toothpick around 20 minutes into the cooking process; if it comes out clean, the cake is done.
- Let the cake cool completely before pouring the lemon drizzle to prevent it from becoming too soggy.
- Feel free to add a bit more lemon zest to the batter for an extra zesty kick.
With just a few ingredients and the convenience of an air fryer, you can create a delicious Lemon Drizzle Cake that will impress your friends and family. The combination of Greek yogurt keeps the cake moist, while the lemon drizzle adds a burst of citrusy sweetness that is simply irresistible. Enjoy your homemade treat!
