Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
In a medium-sized bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, whey protein powder, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, Greek yogurt, almond milk, honey, vanilla extract, and avocado oil until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, whisking continually until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips gently, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 28-30 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 before serving.
Optionally, dust with powdered sugar or top with your favorite high-protein frosting before slicing and serving.
