Ingredients:
- 3 egg whites
- 3 tablespoons of yogurt
- 2 tablespoons of flour
- 1 tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons of sugar (or your preferred sweetener)
- 1/3 packet of baking powder (5-6 grams)
- Chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Batter:
In a bowl, whisk the egg whites until they are slightly frothy. Add the yogurt, flour, cocoa powder, sugar, and baking powder, and mix until everything is well combined and smooth. - Add Chocolate Chips (Optional):
If you want to add an extra chocolatey touch, stir in a handful of chocolate chips into the batter. - Bake in the Air Fryer:
Preheat your air fryer to 170°C (340°F). Pour the batter into a small, air fryer-safe baking dish or cake tin. Bake in the air fryer for about 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. - Cool and Serve:
Let the cake cool slightly before serving. For an extra touch, sprinkle with powdered sugar or drizzle with melted chocolate.
