Description

Imagine a slice of warm, deeply satisfying zucchini cake, its chocolatey aroma filling the kitchen. This air fryer zucchini cake is a delightful treat, perfect for those moments when you crave something sweet and comforting without the guilt. The air fryer works its magic, creating a cake that's beautifully moist and tender, with a delicate crumb that practically melts in your mouth.

This cake is a wonderful way to use up extra zucchini, transforming it into a delectable dessert that even zucchini skeptics will adore. The zucchini itself adds a subtle sweetness and incredible moisture, ensuring that each bite is a pure pleasure. The dominant flavor is a rich, dark chocolate, balanced perfectly with a touch of vanilla for a hint of warmth.

The texture is where this cake truly shines. The ground almonds create a slightly dense but incredibly soft base, while the cocoa powder adds a luxurious depth. The air fryer gives the cake a slightly crisp exterior, providing a delightful contrast to the moist interior.

It’s a symphony of textures that will keep you coming back for more. Enjoy a slice on its own with a cup of coffee or tea, or elevate the experience with a dollop of whipped cream or a handful of fresh berries. The cake is rich enough to satisfy on its own, but the addition of a simple topping can make it even more special.

If you don't have an air fryer, you can achieve similar results by baking it in a conventional oven until it's risen, golden, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This cake is perfect for sharing with loved ones, or for savoring as a personal indulgence. It’s a simple, yet elegant dessert that will brighten any day.

Instructions

    1.
    Add the butter to a food processor. Add the erythritol or your preferred low carb sweetener. Blend together until combined and creamy.
    2.
    Add the ground almonds, baking soda, salt, lemon juice, vanilla and cocoa powder. Blend again until smooth and well combined. This mixture will be very thick and doughy at this stage.
    3.
    Crack the eggs into the food processor. Blend again to combine. You should now have a thick and smooth cake batter.
    4.
    Squeeze any excess liquid from the zucchini with your hands. Add the shredded zucchini to the food processor. Stir gently with a wooden spoon to mix into the batter.
    5.
    Lightly grease the sides and base of a 6 inch air fryer cake tin with a little butter. Spoon the cake batter into the prepared cake tin. Level the batter with a spatula to ensure it is smooth and even on the surface.
    6.
    Place the cake tin inside your air fryer basket and place the basket in the air fryer. Set the temperature to 325 degrees. Set the timer for 35 minutes. After this time, check a skewer comes out of the center of the cake clean. Bake for longer if required. Allow the cake to cool in the tin then carefully turn out onto a serving plate.
