Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In another bowl, beat the eggs until frothy. Add the Greek yogurt, honey, orange zest, and vanilla extract, and whisk until smooth.
Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients using a spatula, mixing until just combined.
Stir in the dark chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove it to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
Slice and enjoy your high protein chocolate orange cake as a delicious and nutritious treat.
