milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

Almond milk is a lactose-free alternative.

Preheat the air fryer at 140C for 5 minutes.

Prepare the bain marie method by pouring hot water into a large pan to help circulate heat and maintain moisture during baking.

In a bowl, mix the light brown sugar and water, then add unsalted butter and stir until combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.

Add cake flour, vegetable oil, salt, baking powder, and milk to the egg yolk mixture and mix until just combined.

In another bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form, then gradually add powdered sugar and lemon juice, beating until stiff peaks form.

Gently fold the egg white mixture into the cake batter, being careful not to overmix.

Pour the batter into a suitable pan and cover with foil to prevent burning.

Place the pan in the air fryer and bake at 140C for 45 minutes with foil, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes.

Check if the cake is done by inserting a toothpick; it should come out clean.

After baking, leave the cake in the air fryer (basket open) for 10 minutes to prevent sinking.

Let the cake rest at room temperature for another 10-15 minutes before inverting.
