Today in BiteMyRecipe We have prepared a recipe for chocolate sponge cake in a airfryer, perfect for family celebrations or birthdays.
Chocolate cakes are generally well received all over the world and can be cooked with many different homemade recipes.
The traditional chocolate sponge cake recipe only has egg, flour, oil, yeast and cocoa powder but we have made some modifications.
Our chocolate cake is very fluffy and it does not stay dry when it cools down.
The chocolate cake recipe is easy to make and although it is not very healthy can be adapted to be lower in calories:
🎂 Don't use sugar better a little sweetener
🎂 Change a chocolate yoghurt with sugar for one without sugar (I use the one with + protein from mercadona)
🎂 Use oatmeal mixed with a little almond flour or coconut flour
🎂 The oil you use should be olive oil before sunflower oil
With these changes the chocolate cake will be healthier and you can eat it more often than the traditional recipe.
Even so, you can treat yourself to chocolate cake with sugar and yogurt without a problem, you just should not abuse in quantities and frequency.
We recommend that you try other sweet recipes like chocolate chip cookie recipe, fluffy brownie recipe and air fryer glazed donut recipe.
All recipes are cooked in the airfryer so they are much faster, easier and healthier than traditional recipes.
Ingredients for an air fryer brownie recipe
2 Eggs
1 chocolate yogurt
Sugar - 4.4 oz
Wheat flour - 8.8 oz
Oil - 62 ml
1/2 envelope of powdered yeast
Orange zest
Preparation in airfryer
Preparation: 5 minutes
Cooking time: 30 minutes
Preheat the airfryer at 175°C for 5 minutes
In a large bowl put the eggs, yogurt, sugar, oil and beat very well
Add the sifted cake flour and yeast and continue integrating
Finally we put the orange zest and beat until you have a homogeneous mixture
In a mold for air fryer put a little baking paper and pour the mixture
Cook in the airfryer with the cupcakes program at 150ºC for 15 minutes.
We take out the cake and prick it a little in different places, put it back in the airfryer for 15 minutes at 150 ºC
If the cake is not done, we lower the temperature and add 5 more minutes in the air fryer
When it is ready, we take it out, reserve and we have our recipe for chocolate cake in a airfryer ready!
Tips for a good recipe for chocolate cake in a airfryer
When a cake is cooked dry ingredients such as yeast and flour must be sifted so that there are no lumps
There are molds for the air fryer like the ones I use or there is also the option of doing it in the air fryer basket itself if it is suitable.
You can add a few drops of vanilla or a tablespoon of cocoa powder if you want to increase the flavor
When the 30 minutes of cooking in the air fryer is over, if it is not done, lower the temperature to the maximum and let it cook for 5 minutes at a time until it is done
If your cake flour already has built-in yeast, you don't need to add more.
You can sprinkle sugar on top of the chocolate cake when it cools
Substitution of ingredients
Chocolate yogurt ➡️ Sugar-free chocolate yogurt (and with more protein) or a sweetened Greek yogurt
Sugar ➡️ Stevia or erythritol (much better than sugar and with less quantity you get the same sweetness)
