Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tbsp milk
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)

Method
 

  1. Whisk flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk egg, milk, oil, and vanilla until smooth.
  3. Fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients just until no dry streaks remain.
  4. Pour batter into a greased 6-inch round pan. Air fry at 320°F (160°C) for 18-22 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  5. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a rack. Dust with powdered sugar, slice, and serve warm.

Notes

If your air fryer doesn't have a preheat setting, just let it run at 320°F for 3 minutes before adding the pan. The cake is best the day it's baked, but leftovers stay moist in the fridge.
