Bake in the air-fryer for 25-45 mins depending on which cake tin you’ve used (25 mins for the round cake tin), checking after 15 mins.

Maybe you live in a small flat or have a motor home, or a tiny house and don’t have a traditional oven, pick one of these up. I couldn’t believe how easy it was either, plus because it’s all done in a cake tin, the air fryer is completely clean afterwards, and we all know the pain of cleaning an air fryer.

It was always said that, with no obstructions, you should be able to serve food at 250 degrees F within one minute. Meanwhile, combine the icing sugar, remaining lemon zest and just enough juice to make a smooth, pourable icing. It sounds like your recipe may be a bit wet for being baked at this relatively lower temperature of 320 degrees.

Fold in most of the chopped pecans (reserving some to decorate with later), the carrots and raisins, then pour into your prepared cake tin.

additionally, you may need to cover the cake tin with aluminum foil to prevent the cake from burning. Insert the probe in the middle of the cake (not touching the bottom of the pan) and check it measures around 209°F (98°C). Air fryers have come under increased scrutiny over the last few years for being too complicated and costly.As a kid, my grandma would make it for me all the time and then comment that it always was her favourite cake. If your airfryer is small you might need to split the batter between two 6 or 7 inch pans and bake for 25 minutes at 150°C (300°F).

These timings work for a 20cm/8in cake tin – if using a smaller tin, you may need to adjust the timings. Never place the baking dish directly in the pan, as this eliminates the airflow in the pan and only the top of the food will be heated.A half-size Bundt is an ideal cake pan for many air fryers, especially the smaller bucket-type fryers.
