Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Whey protein powder
- 0.25 cup Poppy seeds
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Butter, melted
- 0.5 cup Almond milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whey protein powder, poppy seeds, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together until well blended.
In another bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt and granulated sugar until smooth.
Add the eggs, one at a time, to the yogurt mixture, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
Fold in the melted butter and almond milk until the batter is smooth and well integrated. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 40 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 before slicing.
Enjoy the high protein poppy seed cake as a dessert or a protein-packed snack!
