Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup milk or dairy-free alternative
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup hot water or hot coffee for richer flavor
- 1 egg
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat & Prep
- Preheat your air fryer to 320°F (160°C). Grease a 6-inch cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Step 3: Mix Wet Ingredients
- In a separate bowl, mix milk, oil, vanilla, and egg. Slowly add hot water while stirring (the batter will be thin—don’t worry!).
Step 4: Combine & Pour
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until smooth. Then, pour the batter into the cake pan.
Step 5: Bake
- Place the cake pan in the air fryer and bake for 25-30 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center—if it comes out clean, it’s done!
Step 6: Cool & Serve
- Let the cake cool for 10 minutes before removing from the pan. Frost, dust with powdered sugar, or enjoy as is!
