Equipment

  • Air Fryer

Ingredients

Cake:

  • 2 cups flour
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup butter melted
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 large egg

Topping:

  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup butter melted

Instructions

  • Start by making the batter for the cake, mix all of your dry ingredients, and then mix in the wet ingredients. Mix well.
  • Find the largest pan that will fit in your air fryer. Spray it with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Pour the batter into the pan.
  • Then make the topping, mix it all in a small bowl. Mix well, then sprinkle it on top of the cake.
  • Place the pan in the air fryer and set the temperature to 325 degrees F for 25-35 minutes.
  • Note: The exact time of your air fryer will depend on the wattage and how thick the cake is: the thicker, the longer. If you need additional time, add it. You want the toothpick to come out clean in the middle.
  • Let cool slightly before slicing.
  • Plate, serve, and enjoy!
