Simple air fryer lemon cake

Ingredients:

120 grammes (4¼ oz) of flour

75 grammes (2½ oz) of soft butter

75 grammes (2½ oz) of margarine

two eggs

75 grammes (2½ oz) of finely powdered sugar

two tsp lemon juice

1/4 tsp baking powder

One tsp vanilla essence

One pinch of sea salt

Instructions:

Preheat the air fryer to 320℉/160℃ for 5 minutes

Take a mixing bowl and beat butter, margarine, vanilla extract, and sugar with a mixer or whisk until light and creamy this takes about 5 minutes. Be careful to not overmix

Add the eggs and beat them into the butter one by one. Add the second egg when the first egg is incorporated into the mix

Then add the flour, baking powder, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Mix thoroughly

Take some soft butter to butter the cake pan. Cut a circle from parchment paper and put it in the cake pan so the cake won’t stick to the pan

Pour the batter into the cake pan and smooth it using a spatula

Put the cake pan in the fryer basket and slide the basket into the Air Fryer. Set the timer to 20-25 minutes and bake the cake until it is done and brown.

Take a bamboo skewer or toothpick and insert it into the center of the cake. It is done when it comes out clean

Let the cake cool in the pan for at least 5 minutes. Then turn the cake pan over onto a wire rack to cool.

How Much Time Does Lemon Cake Keep?

The shelf life of a lemon cake can range from a few days to several months. Everything is dependent on how it is stored:

Room temperature – a lemon cake lasts between 3 to 4 days when you leave it outside of the refrigerator

Refrigerator – when you store a cake in the refrigerator wrapped in cling film it lasts for 4-5 days

Freezer – if you want to store it longer you can slice your cake and wrap it in aluminum foil. Either wrap it individually or with two and store it in the freezer for up to 2 months

Enjoy!
