Contents
Should I Use Fresh Or Frozen Strawberries?
This recipe calls for fresh strawberries; however, frozen and fresh strawberries lend a burst of flavor and wetness to the dish, making it even more luscious.
Strawberry jam enhances the juicy flavor, ensuring that each mouthful bursts with strawberry flavor! Delicious!
Will the Strawberry Filling Cause the Cake to Get Soggy?
No, adding strawberries to the cake will not make it soggy. The addition of strawberries keeps the cake moist.
How to Know When the Cake Is Ready?
When a skewer or toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, your cake is made.
If there is still cake mix visible on it, it will need more time. Before testing it again, I recommend returning it to the air fryer for an additional 5 minutes.
Important Baking Tips:
You can make the cake frosting in advance, wrapped in plastic wrap, and stored it in the refrigerator overnight. Allow it to soften at room temperature for approx ten min before using it to frost the cake.
Consider using food coloring (just 1-2 tiny drops of red or pink food color) to give the air-fried strawberry stuffed cake a gorgeous pink tone if you wish to use food coloring to make the color pop even more.
