Chefadora AI has the answer - timers, swaps, step-by-step help.
Whisk curd, sugar, oil, and vanilla essence together to make a homogenous mixture.
Sift in the dry ingredients - all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add milk if required and whisk it to achieve the perfect cake consistency.
Divide the batter into two equal halves.
Add chocolate powder and milk to one half and mix well.
Pour the batters alternately into a greased cake tin to create a striped pattern.
Cover the cake tin with aluminum foil.
Preheat the air fryer at 180°C for 5 minutes.
Bake the cake for 30-35 minutes at 180°C. Check after 30 minutes.
If your air fryer basket is less than 6 liters, set the temperature to 160°C. It may take up to 40 minutes, but check after 30 minutes.
Ensure the batter is of a smooth consistency to achieve the perfect zebra stripes.
Use unsweetened chocolate powder for a balanced flavor.
Grease the cake tin well to prevent the cake from sticking.
Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing for clean cuts.
Can I use regular sugar instead of powdered sugar?
Yes, but powdered sugar dissolves more easily and gives a smoother texture to the batter.
What can I use instead of curd?
You can use yogurt as a substitute for curd in this recipe.
Can I bake this cake in a regular oven?
Yes, you can bake it in a preheated oven at 180°C for 30-35 minutes.
How do I know if the cake is done?
Insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.
Can I skip the aluminum foil while baking?
The aluminum foil helps retain moisture, but you can skip it if you prefer a slightly crustier top.
