Coat a 6-inch round cake pan with cooking spray. Line the pan bottom with parchment or wax paper. Flour the pan, tapping out excess. Combine flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a small bowl. Whisk buttermilk, applesauce, oil, espresso powder and vanilla in another small bowl. Place egg in a medium bowl; beat with an electric mixer on low speed. Gradually add sugar. Increase the mixer speed to high and continue beating until the mixture is thick and pale, about 2 minutes. Alternately fold the dry ingredients and the buttermilk mixture into the egg mixture with a rubber spatula, making 3 additions of dry ingredients and 2 additions of buttermilk mixture. Fold in chocolate. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and place in the air-fryer basket. Cook until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Let cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove from the pan. Remove parchment (or wax) paper. Let cool completely on the rack. Serve the cake topped with confectioners' sugar (and/or cocoa powder) and mixed berries.
