Ingredients

- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Optional: 1 teaspoon lemon zest or 1/2 cup fresh berries
Preparation Time
- Prep Time: 10 minutes
- Cook Time: 15 minutes per batch
- Total Time: 25 minutes
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter:
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the yogurt, eggs, sugar, oil, and vanilla extract until smooth. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure a tender texture. If using lemon zest or berries, gently fold them in. - Preheat the Air Fryer:
Preheat your air fryer to 320°F (160°C) for 3 minutes. - Prepare the Molds:
Lightly grease silicone muffin molds or ramekins and fill each one about 3/4 full with the batter. - Air Fry the Cakes:
Place the molds in the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not touch. Air fry at 320°F (160°C) for 12–15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. - Cool and Serve:
Carefully remove the molds from the air fryer and let them cool for 5 minutes before removing the cakes. Serve warm or at room temperature. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with honey.
