Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 240 ml unsweetened almond milk
- 60 g vanilla protein powder
- 2 large egg
- 150 g Greek yogurt
- 50 g honey
- 150 g all-purpose flour
- 10 g baking powder
- 5 g baking soda
- 10 g matcha powder
- 2 g salt
- 50 g coconut oil
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8-inch cake pan with coconut oil or line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, vanilla protein powder, matcha powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until they are light and frothy. Add the Greek yogurt, honey, and melted coconut oil, and whisk until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the almond milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to over-mix.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake for 25 to 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 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optionally, dust the top with a little extra matcha powder for decoration before serving.
