If it doesn&#8217;t, consider using smaller ramekins or silicone molds.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Preheating:<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>Preheating the air fryer ensures even baking. If your model doesn\u2019t require preheating, skip this step.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Avoid Overfilling:<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>Fill the cake tin or molds only halfway or up to 2\/3 full, as the cake will rise while baking.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Check for Doneness Early:<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>Air fryers vary in performance. Start checking your cake 5 minutes before the suggested baking time ends.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Even Cooking:<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>Rotate the cake tin halfway through baking to avoid uneven browning if your air fryer doesn\u2019t have good airflow.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cooling Time:<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>Allow the cake to cool slightly in the tin before removing it to prevent breaking.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><strong>Ingredient Notes:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Lemon Zest:<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>Use fresh lemon zest for a more intense lemon flavor.
