Tips for a good sponge cake recipe with figs and cocoa in a airfryer
- Dry ingredients are always better to sift to avoid lumps and achieve a softer, creamier and more spongy texture
- Using gasifier for biscuits is an old trick of the grandmothers and you can find it in supermarkets like Mercadona
- I have used hand wands but you can also use a hand mixer or a glass blender
- It is not necessary to whip the egg whites for this recipe but if you do it will be a very fluffy cake
- Dates and figs can be chopped with a knife or a shredder if you don't want to find chunks during your meal
- The toothpick trick is perfect to check especially in the center if the cake needs more time in the aifryer
- I used a round shaped air fryer pan
- It is important that you grease the mold that you are going to use so that the cake does not stick
