There’s nothing like an air fryer to change things up in the kitchen. When its the heat of the summer no one wants to run an oven. However, if you have an air fryer, you will be able to bake and enjoy chocolate cake without the heat of an oven complicating things.
Because I was totally curious about how far I could push the limits of cooking in an air fryer, I decided to try out a boxed cake mix in the air fryer. You know what I learned? An air fryer is a very fast and efficient way to bake a cake, well air fry a cake. In fact, it was as simple as could be.
I don’t want a serving for one in a mug cake, but I do love a great air fryer cake for 2 +. You will too, because it’s sinfully easy!
I will share the brand I used to make this cake, I am sure you can improvise and buy other containers to fit the cake into the air fryer basket. Here’s how to make a chocolate cake in an air fryer!
