Air Fried Almond Butter Cake

This Butter Almond Cake was popular in a FB group and I saw many successful attempt on it and had positive reviews as well.  Bookmarked it until now then I found motivation to bake a cake.

The weather had been so bad that I was totally not motivated to clank up the oven.  Even the bake chicken we had last night was done by Happycall pan.

Realised I have not bake a cake for awhile so here is the good push for me to do so.

I decided to use the air fryer to bake this cake.  My first attempt failed as it got deflated after cooled.  I think I underbaked it but luckily I didn't have to feed the bin.

The second attempt was a much better one and I baked it longer.  

Findings: The cake looks dense but yet it is soft.  The almond meal gives the cake a nice fragrance as well.

This recipe is definitely a keeper
