Delight in the delightful simplicity of baking a classic Strawberry Shortcake with your Ninja Air Fryer, an innovative kitchen appliance that makes this treat even easier to prepare. Begin by whipping up a light sponge cake batter, using flour, sugar, baking powder, and a dash of salt, combined with eggs and melted butter for that rich flavour. Pour the mixture into a greased cake tin that fits in your air fryer basket, and air fry at a moderate temperature until golden brown and springy to the touch.

While your sponge cools, prepare the luscious filling. Whip fresh cream until it forms soft peaks, and mix in a hint of vanilla for extra sweetness. For the strawberries, hulled and sliced, toss them with a sprinkle of sugar to release their natural juices.

Once the sponge is cooled, slice it in half, layering the whipped cream and strawberries generously in between. Top with the remaining sponge, and finish with a dollop of cream and a sprinkle of fresh strawberries for a stunning presentation. In just a fraction of the time it would typically take, your air-fried Strawberry Shortcake is ready to delight family and friends—a perfect dessert for any occasion!
