Equipment

Ingredients

For the cake

2 bananas
1 egg
¾ cup sugar
⅓ cup vegetable oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ tsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt

Cream cheese icing

2 tbsp butter softened
2 oz cream cheese softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 to 2 tbsp heavy cream

Instructions

For the cake

Mash the bananas in a bowl. Stir in the egg. Combine the sugar, oil, and vanilla extract until well blended.
Sift the dry ingredients over the banana mixture. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the batter.
Pour into the mini bundt pan.
Set the air fryer to 320°F and bake the cake for 14 minutes.
Rotate the bundt pan 180° and bake for another 14 to 16 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when poked into the center of the cake.
If the cake looks like it is getting too brown, place a sheet of aluminum foil on top to prevent it from browning too much.
Let the cake cool in the bundt pan for 10 minutes. Invert the cake onto a cooling rack and let it cool completely.

For the icing

Place the butter and cream cheese in a microwavable bowl. Microwave for 7 to 10 seconds then stir and microwave for another 7 to 10 seconds.
Stir until smooth and creamy.
Add the powdered sugar and vanilla. Stir until smooth.
Whisk in the cream to get a consistency that drizzles off the whisk. Add more cream if you want the icing to be thinner. Use less cream if you like a thicker consistency.
When the cake is completely cool, drizzle the icing over the cake and serve.

Notes

If you don't have a sifter for the dry ingredients, whisk them in a separate bowl with a fork or whisk then combine them with the wet ingredients.
Make sure you do not over-stir the batter when you blend the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. If you stir too vigorously, you will develop the gluten and the cake will not be as tender.
Different models of air fryers will bake at different rates. Start at the lowest time recommended in the recipe. Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
