Air Fryer Vanilla Sponge Cake with Peaches

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (100g) sugar
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) milk
  • 1/4 cup (60g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup canned peach slices, drained and cut into chunks (optional)
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Air Fryer:
    • Preheat your air fryer to 320°F (160°C) for about 5 minutes.
    • Grease a small baking pan that fits in your air fryer basket with butter or non-stick spray. You can use parchment paper to line the bottom for easier removal.
  2. Make the Batter:
    • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy.
    • Add the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract, and whisk until combined.
    • In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
    • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  3. Assemble the Cake:
    • Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan.
    • Arrange the peach chunks evenly on top of the batter. You can lightly press them into the batter so they partially sink.
  4. Air Fry the Cake:
    • Place the baking pan into the preheated air fryer.
    • Cook at 320°F (160°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
    • If the top is browning too quickly, you can cover it loosely with foil.
  5. Cool and Serve:
    • Once done, remove the cake from the air fryer and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
    • Gently remove the cake from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
    • Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

This cake should have a soft, fluffy texture with a subtle sweetness from the peaches. It’s perfect for a quick dessert or snack made right in your air fryer!
