Butter a 7-inch round baking pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
Place all ingredients into a large bowl. With a hand mixer on medium speed, beat until the batter is light and fluffy. This is important for preventing the cake from being too dense.
Carefully fold the nuts into the batter to keep the air in.
Pour cake batter into the pan and cover tightly with aluminum foil.
Place in the air fryer basket and cook for 45 minutes at 325F.
Remove the foil and then cook for an additional 10-15 mins, until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
Take pan out of air fryer and set on a cooling rack for 10 mins. Then remove cake from the pan and let it cool for additional 20 mins.
Slice and serve.

Notes
Tips
It is very important to mix the ingredients until the batter is nice and fluffy. Otherwise your cake will be too dense.
Make sure to use oven mitts when removing the cake pan from the air fryer.
I used a combination of walnuts and pecans, but chopped almonds or hazelnuts are also great choices.
