Ready to get baking? Here’s how:
1.
Combine your ingredients:
In a mixing bowl, simply whisk together the flour, chocolate spread, and eggs until you achieve a smooth batter.2.
Grease and pour:
If you have butter or oil on hand, lightly grease the sides and bottom of your cake tin. Then, pour in the chocolate batter.3.
Air fry to perfection:
Place the cake tin in your air fryer and cook at 180°C (350°F) for 13 minutes. For a slightly firmer cake, cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.4.
Cooling and slicing:
Once the cake is done, gently run a knife around the edge of the tin to loosen it. Allow the cake to cool in the tin for a few minutes.Important tip:
To avoid any mishaps, cut the cake into eight slices *while it’s still in the tin*. This ensures a clean cut and prevents the cake from crumbling.5.
Enjoy!
