Bake lower than the recipe says

Take about 20°C / 25°F off any conventional oven baking temperature. Air fryers sit much closer to the heating element and move air far more aggressively, so a cake baked at the oven temperature will set a crust before the middle has risen.

Check early, too. Most air fryer bakes finish 20-25% faster than the oven version, and a dessert goes from perfect to dry in the space of two minutes.

What you need to cover

Anything with a loose batter or a light topping needs foil over it for the first two-thirds of the bake. Without it the fan will either scorch the surface or physically blow the topping around the basket.

Cake tins, silicone moulds and ramekins all work as long as there is a finger of clearance around them for air to move. A tin that fills the basket edge to edge will bake unevenly no matter what temperature you use.
