Unless you’re talking lava cakes, you don’t want a crispy crust and an under-baked center. Still, given the right recipe and some simple tweaks, you can make very good cakes in your air fryer. And after baking over a dozen cakes in my Gourmia fryer, I’m ready to share my best air fryer cake practices. My second favorite pan? The 6” round, which holds half the batter of an 8” square/round or 9” round, or one-quarter that of a sheet cake. Streusel topping transforms simple hot milk cake into a crumb coffeecake, protecting the cake's top crust from over-browning in the process. 4) Prevent the cake’s top crust from burning What if you really, really want to bake a full-size 8” or 9” round layer? You can absolutely do it; you just have to take certain measures to prevent the top from burning while the center of the cake bakes. More on that later. 3) Determine time and temperature

The baking time will probably be a bit longer than what your recipe calls for if you use a full-size (e.g., 8” round) pan; smaller pans will require less time.Please note: It is recommended to soak the accessories in soapy water and gently clean it. The items are not dishwasher-safe.

Your fryer may have a bake cycle — if so, start there. You’ll notice the default temperature is probably lower than what you’d usually use to bake cake: The fryer is simply a very small convection oven, and convection ovens bake most effectively at a slightly lower temperature. My Gourmia’s bake cycle temperature is 325°F, which works well. If your fryer doesn’t have a bake cycle, set the temperature to 325°F. Basket style with heating elements: tall, slim air-fryers feature a main unit with heating elements and fans. These have slide-out baskets or trays that slot into place inside. As they tend to have a smaller cooking area than oven-style fryers, in testing we found even results were more likely if the cooking was paused occasionally to rearrange or toss the food around. Some fryers will cut out automatically when you do this, some will need to be paused if you want accurate timings. Over the course of numerous experiments, I’ve retrofitted several of my favorite cake recipes to bake in the air fryer: one “neutral” vanilla (perfect for flavoring) and one chocolate. If you’re looking for a place to start, I recommend beginning with either of these recipes. My go-to vanilla air fryer cake: Chef Zeb’s Hot Milk Cake

My favorite pan for air fryer cakes is a half-size Bundt pan (about 3-cup working capacity). With its center tube funneling hot air not just around the edges of the cake but through its center, it’s a better match for the air fryer’s convection baking than the standard round cake pan. As for capacity, it holds a typical recipe calling for an 8” square, 8” round, or 9” round pan; or half of a sheet cake recipe ( 9” x 13” pan). Some cake recipes already include this option, e.g. Lazy Daisy Cake, with its crown of caramelized butter, sugar, and coconut. You may have to do an initial experiment to determine exactly when to add the topping (to ensure both thorough baking of the cake and browning of the topping), but once you’ve nailed it, you’re good going forward. TOP HEATING ELEMENT: This air fryer is designed with a top heating element that uses rapid air circulation technology to cook food fast and with 99% less oil. PRE-SETS: 8 auto-programmes including Roast, Dehydrate, Fry, Bake or Reheat & more for convenient and easy cooking. First, you can simply drape aluminum foil atop the cake once it’s nearly as brown as you like; the foil will slow down any further browning while the center of the cake bakes through. While this option is simple, it’s not my first choice; the convection fan tends to blow foil around, leaving your cake only partially covered or (worse) dipping down into the batter.
