For a richer flavor, use dark cocoa powder. If you don't have apricot jam, you can substitute with another fruit preserve or a teaspoon of vanilla extract. Adjust cooking time depending on your air fryer model. Start checking for doneness around 12 minutes. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

StepPreheat your air fryer to 320°F (160°C). Generously coat a small fluted tube pan or similar-sized baking pan with cooking spray. (5 minutes)

StepIn a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy. (5 minutes)
03
StepAdd the egg and apricot jam to the butter mixture, mixing until well combined. (2 minutes)
04
StepIn a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. (5 minutes)

StepPour the batter into the prepared pan, ensuring it is evenly distributed. Gently level the surface with the back of a spoon or spatula. (2 minutes)
