My 2nd baking experiment with air fryer. This is a simple and yet easy to prepare carrot cake which didn't even need a mixer. All you need is just a quick hand mix then fold in the flour and the rest of ingredients. The size of the cake is just perfect to feed the 2 old folks at home... again !
haha......
So, here's what I did.
Ingredients : (6 inch cake tray)
125gm all purpose flour
1 tspn baking powder
1/2 tspn baking soda
80gm brown sugar
60gm fine sugar
1/2 tspn salt
3 large eggs
180ml corn oil
1-1/2 cup shredded carrot
1 cup raisins
Method :
(1) mix together flour, baking powder & baking soda till well cooperated.
(2) beat eggs and all sugar till well combined, then stir in corn oil.
(3) now, fold in flour till well combined then stir in shredded carrot and raisins.
(4) transfer batter to a 6" baking tray lined with baking paper on the bottom.
(5) finally, bake at preheated air fryer 175'C for 25 minutes with aluminium foil cover on top (pop a few holes on it), then another 25 minutes at 165'C without the cover or till the cake is set or till tester came out clean. Check cake when reach the final 5 minutes.
Remark : Making sure the aluminium foil is not lose. Use larger sheet to cover then tuck-in to the bottom tray, otherwise it will be suck upwards to the heater by high speed air.
Tips : Bake this cake without using the basket, just place baking tray direct onto the baking box with a rack lined below. The baking temperature need to be set lower than the common oven used.
Good that now I can make all my baking in smaller portions, which is just perfect for 2 days supply for 2 persons. So, can plan to make something different every 2 days after.
hehe.... Feeling blessed !
