# Helpful Tips:

01 -
  • You can satisfy a cake craving in under fifteen minutes start to finish
  • The texture is exactly like bakery angel food but with almost zero cleanup
02 -
  • Every air fryer heats differently so check your cake a minute early the first time
  • A 10 ounce mug minimum prevents overflow as the cake rises dramatically
03 -
  • Use a mug with straight sides rather than tapered for even rising
  • Let the cake rest in the mug for at least one minute or it might collapse
