Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 200 grams all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 50 grams whey protein powder (unflavored or vanilla)
- 60 milliliters milk
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, whey protein powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice the loaf cake once fully cooled and serve as a high-protein snack or dessert.
