Almost Famous Chocolate Cake

Some time back, this Almost Famous Chocolate Cake on FB was very popular.  As usual I am also late to try things that I spotted on the internet. 

I decided to give this a go.  You see, using air fryer to bake cake is so much easier for me.   It is fast and economical as I prefer to bake scale down cakes for my small family these days.

Since this week, I have more people in the house, it will be a joy to share this with them.

Findings: I took a little longer than 35 mins to have the centre of the cake cooked.  Over all the texture is moist and soft.  

Now if you want to have a quick fix for chocolate cake, this will be the one to go for.
