2 How to Make Air Fryer Sponge Cake
Step 1 Prepare the Ingredients
Start by sifting the all-purpose flour and cornstarch to achieve a fine mixture. Use a whisk to combine them thoroughly.
Separate the egg whites and yolks.
Step 2 Whip the Egg Whites
Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites on low speed. Once bubbles appear, add 1 teaspoon of salt and squeeze a lemon slice into the mixture. Continue beating until the egg whites are stiff and glossy. Gradually add 80g of sugar, beating well after each addition, until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Tip: Divide the sugar into 3 portions and add them one at a time, beating thoroughly after each addition. This ensures a smooth and airy texture.
Step 3 Combine the Batter
Gradually add the egg yolks to the whipped egg whites, mixing well after each addition. Just like with the sugar, add the yolks one at a time for a smoother batter.
Add 30g of vegetable oil and 15g of unsweetened fresh milk. Then, gradually incorporate the flour and cornstarch mixture, using the electric mixer to combine everything evenly.
Tip: Add the flour mixture in 3 parts, avoiding overmixing to prevent air bubbles. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
Step 4 Bake the Cake
Gently pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Tap the pan lightly on the counter to remove any air bubbles.
Place the pan in the air fryer, set the temperature to 150°C, and bake for 40 minutes. Once done, remove the pan and invert it for 3-5 minutes to prevent the cake from sinking or collapsing.
Use a knife to loosen the edges, remove the parchment paper, and slice the cake into serving pieces.
