Instructions

9 steps
  1. 1

    Preheat the air fryer to 170C. Set to the bake setting if your air fryer has this.

  2. 2

    Grease a 18cm/7in round cake tin and line the base with greaseproof paper.

  3. 3

    Cream the butter and sugar together until pale, then beat in the eggs, one at a time, until all are incorporated.

  4. 4

    Gently fold through the flour, baking powder, salt and the ground almonds.

  5. 5

    Add the courgettes, sultanas, 50g/1¾oz of the pine nuts, the lemon zest and juice.

  6. 6

    Spoon the mixture into the cake tin and scatter over the remaining pine nuts. Cook in the air fryer for 25 minutes.

  7. 7

    Cover with kitchen foil and cook for a further 35-40 minutes, until cooked through. Test by inserting a skewer into the centre of the cake: it should come out clean. If not, cook it for a little longer.

  8. 8

    Leave to cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack and leave to cool completely.

  9. 9

    To serve, dust with icing sugar.
