Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Coconut flour
- 0.75 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Whey protein powder (vanilla or chocolate flavored)
- 4 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Coconut oil, melted
- 1 cup Almond milk
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Dark chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch round cake pan with coconut oil or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and whey protein powder until well combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until they are well combined and frothy.
Add the melted coconut oil, almond milk, honey, and vanilla extract to the eggs and mix until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips with a spatula.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula if necessary.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cake is completely cooled, slice and serve. Enjoy your gluten-free high-protein chocolate cake!
