Marble Cake (Air Fryer)

This recipe was tagged to my fridge for a long time.  It was one of those recipe that I torn out from a magazine.

I think I lost my momentum in the kitchen.  Thus, its been a while since I last bake a cake.  

Decided to bake this Mable Cake for our breakfast this morning.  Initially I was wondering what so special about this recipe.  Upon reading it again, I realised that method is different from the normal.  No wonder I kept this.

With the air fryer, I got this cake done under half an hour.  This is the kind of food I like.  Fast, easy and minimal work.

Finding: Though I didn't do well in the marbling effect but I find the texture is moist and yet not dense.  I really like it.

I totally love my air fryer these days as it seriously cut down the cooking or baking time needed in each recipe.
