Air Fryer Chocolate Dump Cake
Description
Air fryer chocolate dump cake made with five pantry ingredients and no mixing bowl. A molten chocolate pudding layer under a crisp, brownie-edged top — ready in 30 minutes, with oven directions included.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate cake mix, about half a 15.25-oz box
- 2.6 oz instant chocolate pudding mix, about half a 5.1-oz box
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
- Grease a 6-inch, 7-inch, or 8x8 cake pan thoroughly, including the sides.
- Spread the dry chocolate cake mix in an even layer across the bottom of the pan.
- Sprinkle the dry instant pudding mix evenly over the cake mix.
- Whisk the melted butter into the milk, then pour slowly and evenly over the dry layers.
- Stir gently until no dry powder remains. Do not mix smooth.
- Scatter the chocolate chips over the top.
- Place the pan in the air fryer basket. Cook at 310°F for 15 to 20 minutes, checking at 15.
- The cake is done when the top is set and a toothpick inserted an inch from the edge comes out with moist crumbs. The center will remain soft.
- Rest 10 minutes before serving.
Equipment
- 6-inch or 7-inch round metal cake pan
- Nonstick Cooking Spray
Notes
Full batch (9x13 pan, oven or oven-style air fryer): 1 box (15.25 oz) chocolate cake mix, 1 box (5.1 oz) instant chocolate pudding, 2 1/2 cups milk, 1/2 cup melted butter, 12 oz chocolate chips. Bake at 350°F for 40 to 45 minutes.
Pan choice: thin metal only. Glass and ceramic insulate the center and prevent it from cooking through.
Temperature: do not raise above 310°F in a basket air fryer. If the center is underdone, add time rather than heat.
