Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams almond flour
- 60 grams whey protein isolate (unflavored or chocolate flavor)
- 40 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 3 eggs
- 180 grams greek yogurt
- 100 grams honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 120 milliliters milk
- 60 milliliters olive oil
- 100 grams dark chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan with a bit of olive oil or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, whey protein isolate, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until frothy. Then add the Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla extract, milk, and olive oil. Mix until the ingredients are well combined.
Gradually incorporate the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until a smooth batter forms.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs attached.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before removing it to cool completely on a wire rack.
Optionally, dust the top of the cake with a bit of extra cocoa powder or protein powder before serving.
