This Keto air fryer zucchini cake is moist and chocolatey, baked to perfection in your air fryer. This is a great low carb option for a post dinner treat or for Keto afternoon tea. Perfect for sharing a slice with friends and family.
Keto Air Fryer Zucchini Cake Ingredients
The base of this easy Keto zucchini cake consists of ground almonds, unsweetened cocoa powder, butter, eggs, erythritol and just a hint of vanilla. Once prepared, shredded zucchini is stirred through the cake batter. This is then poured into an air fryer cake tin and baked until golden.
Keto Air Fryer Zucchini Cake Tips
We have used erythritol to sweeten our Keto cake. You may however swap this for your preferred low carb granulated sweetener, adjusting quantities as necessary. This Keto air fryer cake is deliciously rich and moist as it is. However, you may wish to serve with a portion of low carb berries or a scoop of your favorite Keto ice cream. If you do not have an air fryer you can bake the cake in an oven at the same temperature for 40-45 minutes or until risen, golden and a skewer comes out clean.

Step 1
Add the butter to a food processor. Add the erythritol or your preferred low carb sweetener. Blend together until combined and creamy.Step 2
Add the ground almonds, baking soda, salt, lemon juice, vanilla and cocoa powder. Blend again until smooth and well combined. This mixture will be very thick and doughy at this stage.Step 3
Crack the eggs into the food processor. Blend again to combine. You should now have a thick and smooth cake batter.Step 4
Squeeze any excess liquid from the zucchini with your hands. Add the shredded zucchini to the food processor. Stir gently with a wooden spoon to mix into the batter.Step 5
Lightly grease the sides and base of a 6 inch air fryer cake tin with a little butter. Spoon the cake batter into the prepared cake tin. Level the batter with a spatula to ensure it is smooth and even on the surface.Step 6
Place the cake tin inside your air fryer basket and place the basket in the air fryer. Set the temperature to 325 degrees. Set the timer for 35 minutes. After this time, check a skewer comes out of the center of the cake clean. Bake for longer if required. Allow the cake to cool in the tin then carefully turn out onto a serving plate.

Cake was very dry. Double-checked recipe.. don't know what went wrong!

I don't ever cook cakes as long as they say to because the cake continues to cook when it is first taken out of the oven. When I take it out just as a tooth pic inserted in the center of the cake is just not quite clean, that's the perfect time to get it out of the oven. It is moist every time. Any time I went along with the recipe as it reads, my cakes were always dry. As Alton Brown would say, "Not good eats!"

I might have done something wrong but I found the cake a bit dry, I added a glaze of almond milk and conf. swerve. Will try again.I did make it in the oven. Maybe that's it.
