Easy Air Fryer Angel Food Mug Cake (Print)
Light, fluffy angel food cake made in a mug using your air fryer—ready in under 15 minutes for a perfect single-serving treat.
# What You Need:
→ Dry Ingredients
01 - 3 tablespoons angel food cake mix
→ Wet Ingredients
02 - 2 tablespoons water
→ Optional Toppings
03 - 1 tablespoon whipped cream
04 - Fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries)
# How To Make It:
01 - Lightly coat a microwave-safe mug with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
02 - Combine angel food cake mix and water in the prepared mug. Stir thoroughly until completely smooth and no lumps remain.
03 - Place mug in air fryer basket and cook at 320°F for 7-8 minutes until cake has risen and set. Insert toothpick into center to verify doneness—it should come out clean.
