Air Fryer Lemon Drizzle Cake:

Ingredients

  • For the cake:1 cup all-purpose flour
    1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
    1/2 cup granulated sugar
    2 large eggs
    1 teaspoon baking powder
    Zest of 1 lemon
    2 tablespoons lemon juice
    1/4 cup milk
  • For the lemon drizzle:1/2 cup powdered sugar
    2-3 tablespoons lemon juice

Instructions

  • Prepare the Air Fryer:Preheat the air fryer to 320°F (160°C).
  • Make the Cake Batter:In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
    Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
    Stir in the lemon zest and lemon juice.
    In a separate bowl, mix the flour and baking powder. Gradually add this to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, until fully combined.
  • Bake the Cake:Grease and flour a cake pan that fits your air fryer (about 6-7 inches in diameter).
    Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
    Place the pan in the air fryer basket and cook for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Prepare the Lemon Drizzle:While the cake is baking, mix the powdered sugar with the lemon juice until smooth.
  • Add the Lemon Drizzle:Once the cake is done, let it cool slightly in the pan. Then, remove it from the pan and place it on a wire rack.
    Drizzle the lemon icing over the warm cake, allowing it to soak in.
  • Serve and Enjoy:Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing and serving.
