Air Fryer fluffy sponge cake

Ingredients:

• 4 large eggs
• 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup (65g) all-purpose flour
• 1/4 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 tbsp milk (room temperature)
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter (melted and cooled)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Air Fryer:
   • Preheat your air fryer to 320°F (160°C) for 5 minutes.
   • Grease a 6-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
2. Whip the Eggs and Sugar:
   • In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar using an electric mixer on high speed for 8-10 minutes, until the mixture triples in volume and forms a thick ribbon when the whisk is lifted.
3. Sift the Dry Ingredients:
   • Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold these dry ingredients into the egg mixture in small batches, using a spatula. Be careful not to deflate the batter.
4. Add Vanilla, Milk, and Butter:
   • Mix the vanilla extract with the milk and melted butter. Take a small portion of the batter and mix it into the milk-butter mixture to temper it. Fold this mixture back into the main batter gently.
5. Pour the Batter:
   • Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and tap it gently on the counter to release air bubbles.
6. Bake in the Air Fryer:
   • Place the cake pan in the air fryer basket. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If needed, cover the top with aluminum foil halfway through to prevent over-browning.
7. Cool and Serve:
   • Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy!
