A few things worth knowing.

How long does cake take in the air fryer?

For 8-inch round cake pan, the chart baseline is 20-30 minutes at 300°F. Adjusted sizes and temperatures are modelled estimates.

What makes cake cook faster or slower?

Use the stated pan and portion size; a larger pan or different batter needs its own tested instructions. Thickness, initial temperature and appliance output also matter. A total basket weight does not describe the thickness of each piece.

Can I cook cake from frozen?

This method has no supported frozen model. Thaw safely first and use the reference shape.

When should I start checking?

Check at 20 minutes for this setting. Keep cooking if the center has not reached the appropriate safety endpoint or texture. A timer is a reminder to check.

How do I know when cake is done?

For shell eggs, FDA advises firm yolks and whites. Egg dishes need 160°F. Use pasteurized eggs for soft or runny results. A thermometer beats any timer.
