Protein Cake
Description
The Protein Cake is a chocolate-flavored baked good made from oat flour and vegan chocolate protein powder, providing additional protein content beyond typical cakes. Cocoa powder expands the chocolate depth, and baking powder and baking soda ensure proper rise. Sweetened with maple syrup and moistened by almond milk, Greek yogurt, and avocado oil, the batter is mixed until smooth and baked in an 8-inch round pan. Once cooled, the cake is covered with a ganache made from dark chocolate chips melted with almond milk, producing a glossy, smooth frosting. This cake balances nutritional benefits with indulgent chocolate taste and texture, suitable as a post-workout treat or a dessert that includes extra protein.
