Ingredients
- ▢1 egg
- ▢120 grams Greek yogurt nonfat
- ▢50 grams oat flour or preferred flour
- ▢50 grams protein powder chocolate flavor, see notes*
- ▢20 grams cocoa powder
- ▢¾ tsp baking powder
- ▢60 to 180 ml milk of choice see notes*
Optional
- ▢sweetener of choice if using unflavored protein powder, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 175ºC (350°F) and fold a 20 cm (7.8 inches) cake mold with parchment paper
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg together with the Greek yogurt until smooth.
- Add the oat flour, the protein powder, the cocoa powder and the baking powder.
- Start mixing, gradually adding the milk until you get a smooth cake batter – the amount of milk depends on the protein powder used
- Transfer the protein batter to the prepared mold and bake in hot oven for 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool before serving.
Notes
- This protein cake recipe uses chocolate flavored casein protein powder. You can replace with vegan protein powder, a mix of whey and casein or whey (not recommended).
- As this recipe uses chocolate flavored protein powder, there is no need for additional sweeteners. If you opt for unflavored protein powder, instead, you will need to fix the taste with a couple tablespoons of sweetener.
- The quantity of milk depends on the type of protein powder you use. Casein and vegan protein powder will require more milk (about 180 ml or ¾ cup) than whey (about 60 ml or ¼ cup). Start with little and add as much milk as you need to get a smooth batter.
