This recipe gives you a light and fluffy orange cake that cooks quickly in an airfryer. The cake is perfect as a refreshing dessert or to enjoy with a cup of coffee.
Preheat the airfryer to 170 °C and grease a round baking tin of about 18 cm that fits in your airfryer. Mix 150 g plain flour, 1 tsp baking powder and 1/4 tsp salt together in a bowl.
In another bowl, whisk 2 pcs eggs and 100 g sugar together until light and fluffy.
Add 50 ml sunflower oil, orange juice, grated orange zest from 1 pcs organic orange and 1 tsp vanilla extract to the egg mixture, and whisk until well combined.
Fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture until just combined.
Pour the batter into the greased baking tin.
Place the baking tin in the airfryer and bake the cake at 170 °C for about 20-25 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out clean. If the top browns too much before the cake is cooked through, cover it with foil crimped tightly around the edge of the tin.Start the online kitchen timer here
Let the cake cool in the tin for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Dust with 1 tbsp icing sugar before serving, if desired.
Notes
- Adjusting the cooking time may be necessary depending on your specific airfryer model.- If your airfryer tends to cook quickly, keep an eye on the cake to prevent it from getting too dark.- Use a toothpick to check whether the cake is done.
