Ingredients
- 400 grams rhubarb, chopped
- 100 grams vanilla protein powder
- 100 grams almond flour
- 100 grams whole wheat flour
- 200 grams Greek yogurt
- 3 large eggs
- 100 grams coconut sugar
- 100 grams unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the vanilla protein powder, almond flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir well to ensure the ingredients are evenly mixed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, eggs, coconut sugar, applesauce, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chopped rhubarb, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, slice into pieces and serve. Enjoy your high protein rhubarb cake as a delightful and healthy treat!
