Air Fryer Angel Food Mug Cake (Printer-friendly)
Light, fluffy individual cake made in minutes using an air fryer and mug. Perfect for quick sweet treats with minimal cleanup.
# What You'll Need:
→ Dry
01 - 3 tablespoons angel food cake mix (store-bought or homemade)
→ Wet
02 - 2 tablespoons water
→ Optional toppings
03 - 1 tablespoon whipped cream
04 - Fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries)
# How To Make It:
01 - Lightly spray a microwave-safe mug with nonstick cooking spray.
02 - Add the angel food cake mix and water to the mug. Stir well until fully combined and smooth.
03 - Place the mug in the air fryer basket.
04 - Air fry at 320°F for 7-8 minutes or until the cake has risen and is set in the center. Check with a toothpick—if it comes out clean, the cake is done.
05 - Carefully remove the mug from the air fryer (it will be hot). Let cool for 1-2 minutes.
06 - Top with whipped cream and fresh berries, if desired. Serve immediately.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- You can have cake from start to finish in under fifteen minutes without heating up your whole kitchen
- The texture comes out impossibly light and airy, exactly like a bakery angel food cake but in mug form
02 -
- Every air fryer runs differently, so start checking at seven minutes and add thirty second increments until the center sets
- The mug must hold at least ten ounces, otherwise the cake will overflow and create a mess in your air fryer basket
03 -
- For extra height, let the batter sit for one minute before putting it in the air fryer to activate the leavening
- Use a plain ceramic mug without metallic trim to ensure it is truly air fryer safe
