Notes

  • Choose a pan that fits well in your air fryer basket. Many air fryers come with baking accessories, but if not, use a pan that's oven safe. You should adjust the cooking time if using a different-sized pan. The pan used in this recipe is an 8” springform cake pan placed inside the air fryer without the basket.
  • To prevent sticking, grease the pan or use parchment paper; this helps with the easy removal of the cornbread after cooking.
  • Keep in mind that some air fryers can cook faster than traditional ovens. You might need to reduce the temperature slightly or shorten the cooking time. It's a good idea to check for doneness a few minutes before the recommended time.
  • Covering the cake pan with foil prevents the top surface of the cake from burning.
    Insert a toothpick or a knife into the center to check if the cornbread is cooked through. If it comes out clean, it is done.
