Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and allow it to preheat while you prepare the batter to ensure even cooking.
- Mix yogurt and sugar: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt and sugar thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring sugar is well dissolved.
- Add dry ingredients: Gradually add the all-purpose flour and baking powder to the yogurt mixture and stir gently until just combined to avoid overmixing, which can toughen the cake.
- Fold in blueberries: Gently fold the fresh blueberries into the batter, distributing them evenly without breaking them to maintain their shape and moisture.
- Prepare cake pan: Grease an air fryer-safe cake pan lightly to prevent sticking and pour the batter evenly into it, smoothing the top for uniform baking.
- Cook the cake: Place the cake pan into the air fryer basket and cook for approximately 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating the cake is fully baked.
- Cool before serving: Remove the cake from the air fryer carefully, let it cool for a few minutes in the pan before transferring to a wire rack or serving plate. This helps to set the cake and enhances slicing.
Notes
- Use fresh blueberries for best texture and flavor; frozen blueberries can be used but may alter moisture and cooking time.
- Ensure the cake pan fits properly in your air fryer basket to allow adequate air circulation for even baking.
- You can substitute Greek yogurt with plain yogurt, but the texture might be slightly less dense.
- Check the cake a few minutes before the timer ends to avoid overcooking, as air fryer models may vary.
- To enhance flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract or lemon zest to the batter.
