Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 g Honey
- 100 g Unsalted Butter
- 120 g Sugar
- 3 large Eggs
- 60 g Protein Powder (Vanilla flavored)
- 200 g All-Purpose Flour
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 50 ml Milk
- 200 g Greek Yogurt
- 100 g Ground Walnuts
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F) and line a round cake pan with parchment paper.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine 150g of honey and 100g of unsalted butter, stirring until both are melted and well mixed.
Add 120g of sugar to the honey-butter mixture, and continue to stir over low heat until the sugar dissolves completely.
Remove the saucepan from heat, and let it cool slightly. Then, add the 3 large eggs one by one, mixing well after each addition to prevent curdling.
Stir in 60g of vanilla-flavored protein powder and mix until the powder is fully integrated into the mixture.
In a separate bowl, combine 200g of all-purpose flour and 1 tsp of baking powder. Sift this dry mixture into the wet ingredients, folding gently to create a smooth batter.
Add 1 tsp of vanilla extract and 50ml of milk, stirring until the batter reaches a uniform consistency.
Fold in 200g of Greek yogurt to add moisture and increase protein content, ensuring no lumps remain.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool for about 10 minutes in the pan before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, spread the top of the cake with a thin layer of honey and sprinkle with 100g of ground walnuts.
Slice the cake into 12 equal parts and serve. Enjoy your high protein Marlenka as a healthy dessert option!
