Easy Air Fryer Angel Food Mug Cake (Print View)
A light, fluffy individual cake made quickly in your air fryer using just a mug and two simple ingredients.
# What You'll Need:
→ Dry Ingredients
01 - 3 tablespoons angel food cake mix (store-bought or homemade)
→ Wet Ingredients
02 - 2 tablespoons water
→ Optional Toppings
03 - 1 tablespoon whipped cream
04 - Fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries)
# Method:
01 - Lightly coat a microwave-safe mug with nonstick cooking spray, ensuring interior surfaces are evenly covered.
02 - Combine angel food cake mix and water in the prepared mug. Stir thoroughly until mixture is completely smooth and free of lumps.
03 - Place mug in air fryer basket. Cook at 320°F for 7-8 minutes until cake has risen and center is set. Test doneness with a toothpick—insert into center; it should emerge clean.
04 - Carefully remove hot mug from air fryer using oven mitts. Let cool 1-2 minutes before topping with whipped cream and fresh berries. Serve immediately.
