Notes
- Even if your cake pan is coated, it is still a good idea to spray it with cooking spray before you pour batter into it.
- Make sure to check your air fryer manual for time guidelines for your specific model as times and temperatures vary depending on the type of air fryer you have.
- Keep a close eye on the cake. Since the air fryer cooks from the top, you don’t want a burnt top of your cake.
