Making a cake Béraouinse in an air fryer can be a delightful and efficient way to bake this traditional treat. Here’s how you can prepare it:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (120ml) vegetable oil or melted butter
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup (120ml) milk or yogurt (optional for moisture)
- 1 tsp orange blossom water (optional for flavor)
- Sesame seeds or slivered almonds (for topping)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Air Fryer and Pan:
- Preheat the air fryer to 320°F (160°C) for 3-5 minutes.
- Grease an air fryer-safe cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. Mix the Dry Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. Whisk the Wet Ingredients:
- In another bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add the oil, vanilla extract, and orange blossom water (if using). Mix well.
4. Combine the Batter:
- Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients.
- Add milk or yogurt to achieve a smooth batter consistency.
5. Pour the Batter:
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.
- Sprinkle sesame seeds or slivered almonds on top for garnish.
6. Bake in the Air Fryer:
- Place the pan in the air fryer basket.
- 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.
- If the top browns too quickly, cover with aluminum foil and continue baking.
7. Cool and Serve:
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack.
- Slice and serve as a snack or dessert.
Tips:
- Use parchment paper to make removing the cake easier.
- Adjust the sweetness or flavoring (like orange blossom water) to your taste.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
