Air Fryer Toaster Oven Chocolate Cake

1. Preheat the Toaster Oven Preheat your BELLA Air Fryer Toaster Oven to 325°F on the Bake setting.

2. Prepare the Cake Pan Use a 7-inch round cake pan that fits perfectly in the BELLA Air Fryer Toaster Oven. Grease the pan with butter or non-stick spray, and line the bottom with parchment paper.

3. Mix the Dry Ingredients In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.

4. Combine Wet Ingredients In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.

5. Add Boiling Water Stir in the boiling water slowly. The batter will be thin, but this is normal and ensures a moist cake.

6. Bake the Cake Pour the batter into the prepared 7-inch pan. Place the pan in the toaster oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

7. Cool the Cake Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

8. Make the Frosting (Optional) Beat the softened butter with powdered sugar, cocoa powder, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Spread the frosting over the cooled cake and garnish with chocolate shavings.

Tips:

• Pan Size: Ensure your cake pan is no larger than 7 inches in diameter to fit comfortably in the BELLA Air Fryer Toaster Oven.

• Extra Moisture: Add 1/4 cup of sour cream to the batter for an even richer texture.

• Storage: Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
