Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 320°F (160°C). It’s essential to preheat it to ensure even cooking.
- Prepare the Cake Batter: In a small mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Add the milk, vegetable oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until you have a smooth batter.
- Grease the Pan: Grease a small, oven-safe dish that will fit in your air fryer. You can use a ramekin or a small cake pan. Make sure it’s suitable for use in the air fryer.
- Pour the Batter: Pour the cake batter into the greased dish, and smooth the top.
- Air Fry: Place the dish in the preheated air fryer. Cook the cake at 320°F (160°C) for about 12-15 minutes. Keep an eye on it, as the cooking time may vary depending on your air fryer model. The cake is done when a toothpick or cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the mini lemon cake from the air fryer and allow it to cool for a few minutes. You can optionally dust it with powdered sugar or drizzle with a lemon glaze for extra flavor.
- Enjoy: Slice and enjoy your delicious mini lemon cake!
