Air Fryer Christmas Cake

Instructions

1. Mix the Batter
   In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in the golden syrup. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

2. Add Dry Ingredients
   Gently mix in the ground rice, flour, and baking powder until combined.

3. Fold in the Fruit
   Stir in the currants, raisins, sultanas, and chopped cherries until evenly distributed through the thick batter.

4. Prepare for Air Frying
   Spoon the batter into a 6–7 inch silicone cake pan that fits your air fryer basket. Smooth the top.

5. Air Fry the Cake
   Air fry at 300°F (150°C) for 40 minutes, then increase the temperature to 320°F (160°C) and cook for another 10 minutes, until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

6. Finish & Rest
   Remove the cake from the pan. While still warm, drizzle with brandy if using. Let the cake rest for at least 6 hours or overnight before slicing or decorating.

Tips & Notes

• A silicone cake pan makes removal much easier in the air fryer.

• Adding brandy while the cake is warm boosts flavor without long aging.

• You can swap the dried fruits for your favorites if desired.

• Letting the cake rest improves texture and flavor.
