For a richer flavor, try using browned butter in place of regular softened butter. If your cake starts to brown too quickly, tent it loosely with foil during the last few minutes of baking. A ring mold helps to promote even cooking in the air fryer, but a small round or square cake pan will also work. Ensure the cake pan will fit in your air fryer.
