Ingredients

  • Cake:
  • 3 eggs
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1 cup flour
  • ²/³ cup caster sugar (white or fine)
  • 9 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 6 Tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • Chocolate icing:
  • 5.5oz chocolate
  • 3½ Tbsp unsalted softened butter
  • 1²/³ cup icing sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 8 in/20 cm round oven dish
  • food processor or mixer

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Airfryer to 320°C.
  2. Place cake ingredients into a food processor or bowl and mix well. Transfer to the oven dish.
  3. Place the oven dish into the basket of the Airfryer. Slide the basket into the Airfryer and set the timer for 35 minutes. Once the time is up and the timer rings, prick cake with a wooden toothpick. If it comes out clean, the cake is cooked through. If it’s still sticky, place the cake back into the Airfryer and set the timer for another 5 minutes.
  4. Remove dish from the basket and leave the cake to cool on a wire rack.
  5. Meanwhile, melt the chocolate au bain marie or in the microwave. Leave to cool a little, then mix all of the icing ingredients together. 6. Remove cooled cake from the oven dish and place on a plate. Cover with chocolate icing and serve.
