Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup Whey protein powder (chocolate or unflavored)
- 0.75 cup Almond flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Stevia sweetener
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, protein powder, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until light and frothy. Add the unsweetened applesauce, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and stevia. Mix until well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then move it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optional: Serve with fresh berries or a dollop of Greek yogurt for extra flavor.
