Indulge in a cake that merges density with flakiness, enhanced with a protein boost while ensuring moistness and flavor. Perfect for post-workout cravings or a guilt-free dessert, this cake is designed for the health-conscious and flavor-focused alike.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup coconut flour
  • 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (optional for extra moisture)

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8-inch cake pan or line with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, protein powder, coconut sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

  3. 3

    In a separate bowl, mix almond milk, melted coconut oil, eggs, vanilla extract, and Greek yogurt until well combined.

  4. 4

    Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients and stir to form a smooth batter. If too thick, add additional almond milk as needed.

  5. 5

    Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top.

  6. 6

    Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  7. 7

    Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

  8. 8

    Slice and serve, optionally with fresh berries or a dollop of yogurt.

Chef's tip

Consider using a casein-whey blend for optimal texture, and adjust baking time if using a different protein powder form. Always check batter consistency.
