If you were looking for how to prepare a super fluffy orange sponge cake with a single whole orange Arguiñano style, this is your recipe.

A dessert always goes well and if you can prepare it no oven, no microwave, no Thermomix and just a better air fryer.

The orange cake can be combined with chocolate, with yogurt, with cinnamon... but we have opted for the traditional recipe of a lifetime.

In this orange cake recipe without milk and without yogurt we only use basic ingredients although they can be changed and readapted.

For example, you can add a natural Greek yogurt to make the orange cake more moist or put a homemade sugar and water syrup.

If you want something more special to take to a birthday, I recommend a glaze, a pastry cream on top, decorating with icing sugar or putting a chocolate coating.

The best thing about preparing this orange sponge cake recipe in a airfryer is that It is fluffy, juicy, it is easy and it is also prepared in 5 minutes.

Today we have focused on preparing a moist and fluffy orange cake but we are already preparing a healthy orange cake and a gluten-free orange cake.

This is not a fitness orange cake or fit but not bad for a shared treat from time to time.

While we recommend some healthy dessert recipes in a airfryer, such as the fig and cocoa cake recipe in air fryer or the carrot and oatmeal muffins recipe in air fryer

Tips for a good orange sponge cake recipe in a airfryer

• The trick to a sponge cake is to whip the egg whites until stiffand not let them go down when you mix it with everything
• You can use manual whisks or an electric whisk, with which it will take less
• For a stronger flavor you can add zest of the orange itself
• In this recipe I have not added it but other times I add a tablespoon of cinnamon powder
• If the mold is not rubber, don't forget to grease it wellI use this one from amazon and it works great
• You can use a round pan, a square pan, an aluminum pan...as long as it's air fryer safe
• If the toothpick does not come out clean when the 25 minutes have passed, lower the temperature of the air fryer to the maximum and leave it for 3 minutes at a time until it is cooked
• You can decorate with pastry cream or split it in half horizontally and bathe it in a syrup

Substitution of ingredients

• Eggs L ➡️ If your eggs are M or very small, add 3 instead of 2
• Wheat flour ➡️ Pastry flour with yeast included (add the same amount but do not add yeast separately)
• Powdered yeast ➡️ Baking powder
• Sugar ➡️ Stevia (in much smaller amounts), erythritol or other sweeteners such as honey
• Orange ➡️ You can use its juice, its zest or both depending on the intensity, or replace it with lemon for a lemon cake
• Olive oil ➡️ Sunflower or vegetable oil
