Ingredients
- 4 large eggs room temp
- ½ cup sugar
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
- 2 tbsp melted butter optional
Instructions
Prepare Your Cake Pan
- Grease a 6-inch round cake pan with butter or cooking spray and dust with flour. You can also use parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Beat Eggs & Sugar
- In a bowl, whisk eggs and sugar together until pale and fluffy (about 5 minutes with a hand mixer).
Add Dry Ingredients
- Sift in flour, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold everything together using a spatula.
Mix in Vanilla & Butter
- Add vanilla extract and melted butter (if using). Fold gently to keep the batter airy.
Pour & Air Fry
- Pour batter into the prepared pan. Set your air fryer to 320°F (160°C) and bake for 15-18 minutes. Check at 12 minutes with a toothpick—if it comes out clean, it’s done!
Cool & Serve
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then remove and let cool completely on a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar or top with fruit for extra yumminess!
Notes
- Use room temp eggs for the best rise.
- Don’t overmix—gentle folding keeps it fluffy!
- All air fryers cook a little differently, so check early to avoid overbaking.
