☕🍰 Air Fryer Coffee and Walnut Cake

A moist, nutty treat with bold coffee flavor—done in your air fryer!

✅ Ingredients:

For the Cake:

1 cup all-purpose flour

½ cup unsalted butter (softened)

½ cup brown sugar

2 eggs

1½ tbsp instant coffee (dissolved in 1 tbsp hot water)

1 tsp baking powder

¼ cup chopped walnuts

Pinch of salt

For the Frosting (optional but dreamy):

½ cup butter (softened)

1 cup powdered sugar

1 tbsp instant coffee (dissolved in 1 tsp hot water)

Extra walnut halves for topping

🧁 Instructions:

Prep your air fryer:
Preheat to 320°F (160°C) for 3–5 minutes. Line a 6-inch round cake pan with parchment or lightly grease it.

Make the batter:
Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well. Stir in the dissolved coffee.
Mix in flour, baking powder, salt, and fold in the chopped walnuts.

Pour & smooth:
Transfer the batter to your cake pan and level the top with a spatula.

Air fry:
Bake at 320°F (160°C) for 20–25 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean. Let it cool in the pan.

Make the frosting:
Beat butter and powdered sugar until smooth and fluffy. Mix in the dissolved coffee.

Decorate:
Once the cake is cool, spread the frosting over the top and garnish with walnut halves.

☕ Serving Suggestion:

Serve with a cup of strong coffee or a dollop of whipped cream. It’s perfect for brunch or afternoon tea!
