1BoxYellow Cake Mix Use the box ingredient list, for instance I used a Betty Crocker Mix, so the eggs, water, and oil are the ingredients from the box. This would vary based on the box mix that you use.
3Eggs
1CupWater
1/2 CupVegetable Oil
1/3CupBrown Sugar, Packed
1/2Tbsp Ground Cinnamon
1/2TspGround Ginger
1/4CupChopped Pecans
Instructions
Butter an 8-inch cake pan or use parchment to fit the pan. If using parchment, add the butter on top of the parchment. This will help release the cake.
Pour 3 cups of water into the gray pot of the Ninja Foodi. Set this aside.
In a mixing bowl, mix the cake mix with the ingredients listed on the box, in the case of my cake mix, this is eggs, water, and oil. Mix this until a smooth batter is formed.
Pour the batter into the cake pan and set it aside.
In a smaller bowl mix the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, and chopped pecans until well blended.
Sprinkle these on the cake batter.
Use a knife and swirl it throughout the dough. Be careful to not overmix, just swirl.
Place the cake on the wire rack in the lowest position.
Place it into the gray pot of the Ninja Foodi.
Use the setting STEAM CRISP then roll the dial to STEAM BAKE.
Set the temperature to 280*F for 35 minutes (the valve does not matter if it's vent or seal).
It will take about 20 minutes to build up steam and then 35 minutes to cook.
Once the time is up, open the cover and be sure the internal temperature of the cake is at least 210*F.
Take it out of the Ninja and place it on a cooling rack.
With a thin sharp knife, release the cake from the edge of the pan.
Let it cool in the pan for 3-4 minutes then take it out by flipping it over and let it cool completely on the rack.
Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve.
Notes
This can be done with a gluten-free yellow cake mix, but the time may need to be adjusted so you would need to check the cake to be sure it's 210*F internally before serving.This does not work if you pour half the batter into the pan, add the mixture and then add the rest of the batter, the cake will not bake properly.Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days in the fridge.
