Servings: 16 servings
Equipment
Ingredients
For the cake
- 1 box super moist French vanilla cake mix 15.25 ounce
- 1 can pumpkin puree 15 ounces
- 1 cup water
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1 tub whipped topping, thawed 8 ounces
Optional Toppings:
- Cinnamon
- Chopped nuts
- Chocolate chips
- Powdered sugar
Instructions
- Spray two air fryer cake pans with cooking spray and set them aside.
- Use a mixer to beat the cake mix, pumpkin puree, water, vegetable oil, eggs, and pumpkin spice together until thoroughly combined.
- Pour half the batter into one cake pan. Next, pour the rest of the batter into it the second cake pan.
- Bake each cake separately in the air fryer for 35-40 minutes at 320°F or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let the cakes cool completely before removing them from the pan. Once you carefully remove the cakes, you will likely want to cut off the top with a serrated knife, as the air fryer can cause the cake to rise lopsidedly.
- Spread half of the whipped topping over the top of both cakes and then sprinkle with any other desired toppings.
- Plate and serve.
Notes
- I had a deep 8-inch cake pan that I poured all of the batter into. If your air fryer is big enough and you have the larger pan, you can use that instead of the two separate pans. Depending on your pan size, you may need to adjust the cooking time. Use a toothpick in the middle of the cake to test for doneness.
- This cake is incredibly moist and delicious. Because it’s cooked at such a low temperature, it allows all of that moisture to stay in the cake.
- Want a different frosting other than whipped topping? Try my Cream Cheese Frosting, Chocolate Frosting, or Vanilla Frosting!
- Drizzle caramel sauce or salted caramel sauce over the top for a truly decadent treat!
