Air cake - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can substitute with other dried fruits like cranberries, chopped apricots, or dates. Just use the same total quantity as the raisins and candied fruit.
Store the cooled air cake in an airtight container at room temperature. It should stay fresh for about 3-4 days. You can also store it in the refrigerator to extend its shelf life to about a week, but it may become slightly drier.
Yes, you can freeze the air cake after it has completely cooled. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then in foil, or place it in a freezer-safe bag. It can be frozen for up to 2-3 months. Thaw it at room temperature before serving.
A simple glaze of powdered sugar mixed with a little milk or lemon juice works well. You can also use a cream cheese frosting or royal icing for a more decorative finish.
While a mixer makes kneading easier, you can knead the dough by hand on a lightly floured surface. It will take longer (around 15-20 minutes) and require more effort to achieve a smooth, elastic dough.
The air cake is done when it's golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Since ovens vary, keep an eye on the color; if it's browning too quickly, tent the tops of the molds with foil.
Yes, you can use a larger cake pan. However, the baking time will need to be adjusted. Start checking for doneness around 40-45 minutes, and add more time as needed until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
