Making lemon cake in air fryer is a brilliant way to save time without compromising on taste. The airfryer ensures even cooking, giving your lemon cake a golden crust and a soft, moist centre.

How to make lemon cake in air fryer

Step 1

Prepare the batter
In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, sugar, and a pinch of salt. In another bowl, whisk eggs, melted butter, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Combine wet and dry ingredients until smooth.

Step 2

Grease the tin
Use a small baking tin that fits in your airfryer. Grease it lightly with oil or butter and pour the lemon cake batter into it.

Step 3

Bake in airfryer
Preheat your airfryer to 160°C. Place the tin in the airfryer basket and bake for 25–30 minutes. Check with a toothpick – if it comes out clean, your lemon cake in air fryer is ready.

Step 4

Cool and serve
Let the cake cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring to a rack. Serve plain or with a light dusting of icing sugar.

Tips for lemon cake in air fryer

When making lemon cake in air fryer, always check the size of your baking tin to ensure it fits comfortably in the basket. Avoid overfilling the tin, as the batter rises during baking. For an extra zesty kick, add more lemon zest to the batter. You can also drizzle a lemon glaze over the cooled cake for added sweetness and shine. Lemon cake in air fryer is also great when paired with berries or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
