Easy Air Fryer Angel Food Mug Cake (Printable View)
A light, fluffy individual cake made in minutes using your air fryer and a mug—perfect for a quick sweet treat.
# What You’ll Need:
→ Dry Ingredients
01 - 3 tablespoons angel food cake mix (store-bought or homemade)
→ Wet Ingredients
02 - 2 tablespoons water
→ Optional Toppings
03 - 1 tablespoon whipped cream
04 - Fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries)
# Cooking Steps:
01 - Lightly spray a microwave-safe mug with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
02 - Add the angel food cake mix and water to the mug. Stir thoroughly until fully combined and smooth with no lumps.
