🍳 Preparation Steps
  1. 1

    In a bowl, vigorously mix the melted butter and sugar until smooth and creamy.

  2. 2

    Add the eggs one by one, mixing well after each addition.

  3. 3

    Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt, then gradually incorporate into the mixture.

  4. 4

    Add the milk gradually while mixing to obtain a homogeneous batter.

  5. 5

    Gently fold in the chopped walnuts.

  6. 6

    Butter a round Airfryer-compatible mold (16-18 cm), pour in the batter and smooth the surface.

  7. 7

    Place a few walnut pieces on top for decoration.

  8. 8

    Preheat the Airfryer to 160°C. Bake the cake for 30 to 35 minutes until golden.

  9. 9

    Check doneness with a knife blade: it should come out clean.

  10. 10

    Let cool in the mold for 10 minutes before unmolding. Let cool completely before slicing.

Tips & Tricks
  • Chop the walnuts coarsely to keep them crunchy and prevent them from sinking.
  • Variation: replace walnuts with chopped hazelnuts or almonds.
  • If the top browns too quickly, lower the temperature to 155°C for the last 10 minutes.
