• 1 tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp salt
• ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
• ½ cup (120ml) vegetable oil or melted butter

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Air Fryer and Pan:

1. Preheat the air fryer to 320°F (160°C) for 3-5 minutes.
2. Grease an air fryer-safe cake pan or line it with parchment paper.

2. Mix the Dry Ingredients:

1. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

3. Whisk the Wet Ingredients:

1. In another bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy.
2. Gradually add the oil, vanilla extract, and orange blossom water (if using). Mix well.

4. Combine the Batter:

1. Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients.
2. Add milk or yogurt to achieve a smooth batter consistency.

5. Pour the Batter:

1. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.
2. Sprinkle sesame seeds or slivered almonds on top for garnish.

6. Bake in the Air Fryer:

1. Place the pan in the air fryer basket.
2. Air fry at 320°F (160°C) for 20-25 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
3. If the top browns too quickly, cover with aluminum foil and continue baking.

7. Cool and Serve:

1. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack.
2. Slice and serve as a snack or dessert.
