Air Fryer Vanilla Cupcake Recipe
Soft and fluffy air fryer vanilla cupcakes made with simple pantry items and sweet tutti frutti. No oven needed, ready in under 30 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 cup 125 grams all-purpose flour (maida)
- ½ cup 60 grams powdered sugar
- ½ cup 120 ml milk
- ¼ cup 60 ml oil
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon 5 ml vanilla essence
- 1 teaspoon 4 grams baking powder
- ½ teaspoon 2.5 grams baking soda
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 tablespoons 20 grams tutti frutti
- 1 teaspoon 3 grams all-purpose flour, for coating the tutti frutti
Instructions
- Add the eggs and powdered sugar to a bowl. Whisk well for 1 to 2 minutes.
- Add the oil, milk, and vanilla essence. Mix until combined.
- In another bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Sift the dry mixture.
- Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture a little at a time. Gently mix until you have a thick, smooth batter. Do not overmix.
- Toss the tutti frutti with 1 teaspoon flour. Gently fold it into the batter.
- Place cupcake liners in the moulds and fill them about ¾ full.
- Preheat the air fryer to 130°C (266°F) for 3 minutes.
- Air fry the cupcakes at 130°C (266°F) for 15 minutes.
- Insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the cupcakes are ready. If there is wet batter, cook for another 1 to 2 minutes and check again.
- Cool the cupcakes in the mould for 5 minutes, then remove and cool fully.
Notes
- Use room temperature eggs and milk for a better rise.
- Do not overmix the batter, or the cupcakes turn hard.
- Fill liners only ¾ full so they do not spill over.
- Check at 13 minutes, as air fryers vary.
