Ingredients
  

For the Cake
  • 10 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 2/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup white sugar
  • 1 each egg
  • 1 each egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
For the Frosting
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 1 1/4 cup powdered sugar (sifted)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla for frosting
  • 1-2 tablespoons milk for frosting
  • 1-3 drops food coloring of your choice optional for frosting
  • Sprinkles your choice

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the Air Fryer to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch cake pan that fits your air fryer basket.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and white sugar for about 2 minutes until airy and fluffy.
  3. Mix in the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  4. Gradually add the flour, baking soda, and salt to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Gently fold in all but 2 tablespoons of chocolate chips into the dough.
  6. Press the cookie dough into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top, and sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips over the surface.
Baking
  1. Bake in the air fryer for about 22-25 minutes. The edges should be lightly golden, and the center should appear just set.
  2. Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before removing.
Frosting
  1. In a separate bowl, beat together the 4 tablespoons of softened butter with the sifted powdered sugar until smooth.
  2. Add vanilla and enough milk to achieve your desired frosting texture—thick yet spreadable.
  3. Pipe or spread the frosting around the edges of the cooled cake and decorate with sprinkles, if desired.

Notes

For best results, ensure your butter is at room temperature, don't overmix, and keep an eye on the baking time. You can try different frosting flavors and combinations to suit your taste.
