Here’s a simple and delicious recipe for an Air Fryer Almond Cake. This cake is soft, moist, and perfect for a quick dessert or snack.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup (120g) almond flour (blanched)
• 1/4 cup (30g) all-purpose flour (or use gluten-free flour if preferred)
• 1/2 cup (100g) sugar (or your preferred sweetener)
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1/4 cup (60ml) milk (or any non-dairy milk)
• 1/4 cup (60g) unsalted butter, melted (or coconut oil for a dairy-free version)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon almond extract (optional, for extra almond flavor)
• A few slivers of almonds (optional, for topping)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Air Fryer:
   Preheat your air fryer to 320°F (160°C) for about 5 minutes.
2. Prepare the Cake Batter:
   • In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
   • In another bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and almond extract (if using).
   • Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until smooth.
3. Prepare the Cake Pan:
   • Grease a cake pan that will fit into your air fryer basket (usually a 7-8 inch round pan or a 6×6 square pan works well).
   • If you prefer, you can line the pan with parchment paper to make the cake easier to remove.
   • Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.
4. Air Fry the Cake:
   • Place the cake pan into the preheated air fryer basket.
   • Air fry at 320°F (160°C) for 18-22 minutes. The cooking time will vary depending on your air fryer model, so check the cake at the 18-minute mark.
   • To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean or with a few crumbs, the cake is done.
5. Cool and Serve:
   • Remove the cake from the air fryer and let it cool in the pan for about 5-10 minutes.
   • Once slightly cooled, remove it from the pan and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
   • Optionally, sprinkle some slivered almonds on top of the cake for garnish.

Serving Suggestions:

• Serve as is or dust with powdered sugar.
• You can also serve it with whipped cream, fresh berries, or a drizzle of honey.

Notes:

• Sweetener: If you’re using a sugar substitute, such as Stevia or Monk fruit sweetener, adjust the quantity based on the sweetness level of the substitute.
• Texture: Almond flour cakes tend to be denser than traditional flour cakes. This cake will have a moist, slightly crumbly texture.
• Storage: Store any leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days or refrigerate it for up to a week.
