What can I substitute the all-purpose flour with?

You can use cake flour or self-rising flour instead of all-purpose flour. You can also use gluten-free flour for a gluten-free cake.

If you are using self-rising flour there is no need to add baking powder, only add the baking soda.

How do you store the leftover air fryer vanilla cake?

If you have some leftovers put them in an air-tight container and put them in the refrigerator. They are good for 2-3 days.

What temperature is for baking a cake in an air fryer?

I baked the cake using my Philips air fryer at 160C/320F for 30 minutes. However, the baking time varies with each brand.

It’s best when the cake is baked at a low temperature which avoids burning on top. And also the cake bakes evenly.
