Recipe of Carrot cake in a airfryer

Today in BiteMyRecipe We have prepared a recipe for carrot cake in a airfryer, very tasty, easy and quick to prepare!

There are many ways to prepare a carrot cake and we have chosen to accompany it with nuts.

This carrot cake recipe is without Thermomix, without oven, without microwave, only with the airfryer.

The carrot cake is very fluffy and can be healthy or light by applying small changes:

🍰 Swap wheat flour for oatmeal or rice flour

🍰 Remove the brown sugar and add erythritol (a carrot cake without sugar will always be healthier)

The rest of the ingredients are healthy so With two changes you would already have a fit or healthy carrot cake.

To adapt the gluten-free carrot cake recipe, you must change the flour and the yeast.

For the carrot cake recipe be fluffy and creamy at the same time you can add a natural yogurt (I like Mercadona's sweeteners).

This recipe is an adaptation of the recipe of chefs like Arguiñano, Samantha or Jordi Cruz.

At BiteMyRecipe we already have a recipe for healthy carrot and oatmeal muffins in an air airfryer.

Tips for a good carrot cake recipe in a airfryer

• If you have a stick blender, try whipping the egg whites with a little of the sugar and mixing the other ingredients separately, then add the carefully whipped egg whites for a super fluffy sponge cake
• The carrot can be finely chopped (I recommend in a shredder) or grated
• All dry ingredients must be sifted
• The ideal would be to prepare the mold with oil and flour, although if it is made of rubber it will not be necessary (if recommended).
• Before turning off the fryer, make sure the cake is cooked
• To check that the cake is done stick a wooden stick or fork in the center and it has to come out clean
