Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¾ cup milk warm
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice or vinegar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tbsp melted butter plus extra for greasing
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Optional: chocolate chips berries, or nuts

Instructions
 

  • Mix warm milk and lemon juice, let sit 5 minutes to make buttermilk.
  • In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Add egg, vanilla, and melted butter into the buttermilk mixture. Mix well.
  • Combine wet and dry ingredients until smooth (don’t overmix).
  • Grease a 6-inch cake pan with butter or line with parchment.
  • Pour the batter into the pan and smooth the top.
  • Preheat air fryer to 320°F (160°C). Cook 16–18 minutes until golden.
  • Insert a toothpick—if it comes out clean, it’s done.
  • Cool slightly, slice, and serve with your favorite toppings.

Notes

● Double the recipe for a taller cake, but increase cooking time slightly.  
● Add chocolate chips, blueberries, or nuts for extra flavor.  
● Best served warm with syrup, cream, or fresh fruits.
