Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your air fryer to 320°F (160°C).
- Line a small baking tin or air fryer-compatible cake pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar using an electric mixer or a whisk until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
- Beat the eggs in one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- Add the lemon zest and lemon juice to the mixture. Mix until well combined.
- Sift the self-raising flour over the wet ingredients, then gently fold it in using a spatula or a wooden spoon. Mix just until you no longer see streaks of flour. Do not overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking tin or cake pan, spreading it out evenly.
- Place the cake pan in the preheated air fryer. Cook for 25-30 minutes, or until a skewer or toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Remove the cake 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 completely cooled, slice and serve. Enjoy!
Tips:
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for even mixing.
- Grease your air fryer pan well to prevent the cake from sticking.
- Do not overmix the batter; mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Check the cake for doneness by inserting a toothpick. If it comes out clean, the cake is ready.
- For a stronger lemon flavor, consider adding a few drops of lemon extract.
- Let the cake cool completely before slicing to maintain its shape and texture.
- You can add a simple lemon glaze by mixing powdered sugar with lemon juice and drizzling it over the cooled cake.
This simple air fryer lemon cake is a delightful treat that combines the convenience of air frying with the fresh and tangy flavor of lemons. Perfect for any occasion, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. Enjoy your delicious, homemade lemon cake!
