🍰 Why Make Cake in the Air Fryer?

The air fryer isn’t just for fries and chicken — it’s also fantastic for baking. This air fryer marble cake proves that you can enjoy fluffy, moist cakes without using the oven. The air fryer circulates hot air evenly, ensuring a golden crust and soft interior every time.

🍫 Vanilla Meets Chocolate

This cake is a classic marble combination: sweet vanilla batter swirled with rich cocoa. The flavors complement each other perfectly, making it a favorite for both kids and adults. You can enjoy it plain, dusted with powdered sugar, or even topped with melted chocolate for an extra treat.

🔥 Tips for Success in the Air Fryer

• Cake pan size: Make sure your cake pan fits comfortably in the air fryer basket. A 20 cm (8-inch) round pan works well.
• Don’t skip preheating: Preheating ensures even baking.
• Check doneness: Insert a toothpick in the center — if it comes out clean, your cake is ready.
• Cooling: Let the cake rest before slicing for the best texture.
