Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- â…” cup white cake mix
Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup milk
Add-ins and Garnishes
- 2 Tablespoons sprinkles
- Whipped topping (optional garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Mug: Preheat your air fryer to 325 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly grease a 12-ounce, oven-safe mug with baking spray. Ensure the mug fits inside your air fryer before preheating to avoid any issues.
- Mix Cake Batter: In the prepared mug, mix together the white cake mix and milk until fully combined, making sure there are no lumps.
- Add Sprinkles: Gently fold in the sprinkles to the batter, distributing them evenly. Avoid overmixing as this can cause the colors to bleed and blend together.
- Air Fry the Cake: Place the mug in the air fryer basket and cook at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for 23 to 25 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the mug from the air fryer and let the cake cool for 5 to 10 minutes. Serve warm, topped with whipped topping if desired for an extra indulgent touch.
Notes
- Ensure the mug you use is oven-safe and fits comfortably inside your air fryer basket.
- Do not overmix sprinkles with the batter to maintain vibrant colors.
- Adjust cooking time slightly based on your specific air fryer model.
- Let the cake cool slightly to avoid burns when eating directly from the mug.
- Feel free to substitute milk with any plant-based milk for a dairy-free version, though texture may vary slightly.
- Whipped topping is optional but adds a creamy contrast to the cake.
