Ingredients
- 400 g Self Raising Flour
- 450 g Granulated Sugar
- 225 g Unsalted Butter
- 3 Large Eggs
- 50 g Cocoa Powder
- 1.5 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 600 ml Skimmed Milk
- 1 Tbsp Vanilla Extract
Kitchen Gadgets
- Cosori Air Fryer
- Silicone Cake Pans
Instructions
-
Place into a large mixing bowl the butter and sugar and mix with a hand mixer until it resembles a fluffy batter with a paler colour.
- Next crack in the eggs and add the vanilla and add the olive oil. Continue mixing until smooth.
- Then add in the milk and the cocoa powder and continue mixing until creamy and smooth. Scrape the edges of your bowl with a silicone spatula if needed.
-
Finally add in the flour and give the cake batter its last good mix.
- Then pour the cake mixture between two silicone pans and air fry one at a time unless you have two air fryers, then you can do both at the same time.
-
Then place the silicone pans into the air fryer basket.
- Air fry for 10 minutes at 180c/360f, reduce the temperature to 160c/320f and cook for a final 25 minutes.
- Next do a thermometer test and if it comes out clean the cake is cooked if it doesn’t add 10 more minutes at 150c/300f.
- Then once cool enough to handle remove the sponge cake from the silicone and place on a cooling tray and allow to fully cool before decorating.

Notes
Thermometers. Whilst you associate them most with checking the internal temperature of chicken, they are brilliant for checking a cake. Place it in the centre of the cake and if it comes out clean the cake is done.
