It’s delicious, it’s orange(ish), and it comes from the Airfryer. Guess what it is? No, not a nasi disk. It’s a birthday cake for King Willy. Hooray!

Spicy, sweet and smothered in fresh frosting. Who doesn’t like carrot cake — apart from some strange guinea pig, of course?

Did you know you can also make it in the Airfryer? They even have a handy baking pan for it. Don’t have one (yet)? No stress: you can also use a regular oven dish or baking tin. In both cases, the benefits of the Airfryer remain: it’s faster and you need less fat. Ready? Let’s bake!

How to make carrot cake from the Airfryer

  1. Line the baking accessory with baking paper
  2. Put the flour, spices, grated carrots and sugar in a bowl and mix well.
  3. Add the eggs, milk and oil to the middle of the mixture and combine with a wooden spoon until incorporated.
  4. Put the mixture in the baking tin and bake it in the Airfryer at 150 degrees for 40 minutes.
  5. Meanwhile, make the frosting: whisk the cream cheese until light and smooth.
  6. In another bowl, beat the butter, icing sugar and honey until light and fluffy. Fold the mixtures together.
  7. When the cake is done and has cooled slightly, spread the topping over the carrot cake and sprinkle with nuts.
  8. If desired, you can also cut the cake in half and spread a layer of frosting between the layers.
