Ingredients
To recreate this delightful experience, you’ll need just a handful of simple ingredients. Each one, in its own way, brings back a flood of memories. The cake mix, of course, is the star. Mama Lou always believed in having a good mix on hand for those moments when inspiration struck. You’ll also need eggs, oil, and water. These staple ingredients are like old friends, always ready to lend a hand in creating something beautiful. And don’t forget a touch of vanilla extract, a nod to Mama Lou’s secret tip for enhancing flavor. Lastly, a sprinkle of love, the most essential ingredient of all, which turns a simple cake into a cherished moment.
Instructions
Creating your cake mix in airfryer is a simple yet rewarding process. Begin by gathering your ingredients and preheating the airfryer to 320°F (160°C). I like to take this time to reminisce about the times spent in the kitchen with Ouma, our laughter echoing off the walls as we stirred and mixed.
1. Prepare your cake mix according to the package instructions, using eggs, oil, and water. As you stir, let the rhythm of your spoon be a reminder of those cherished moments shared over a mixing bowl.
2. Lightly grease a small cake pan that fits comfortably inside your airfryer. Pour the batter into the pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula, just as Mama Lou would have done with her patient, practiced hands.
3. Carefully place the pan in the airfryer basket. Set the timer for 20-25 minutes, checking occasionally. The anticipation as you wait is part of the experience, reminding me of the times I’d peek into Mama Lou’s oven, eyes wide with wonder.
4. Test for doneness with a toothpick. If it comes out clean, your cake is ready to be savored. Allow it to cool slightly before serving, though the hardest part might just be resisting the temptation to dive right in.
