Protein Lava Cake (Single Serve)
Description
The Protein Lava Cake recipe combines powdered protein, cocoa, peanut butter powder, sugar-free pudding mix, baking powder, sweetener, almond milk, and vanilla extract into a smooth batter. This mixture is microwaved briefly, which cooks the edges while leaving the center soft and molten, mimicking a traditional lava cake.
The inclusion of peanut butter powder adds a subtle nutty note complementing the chocolate flavor, and the mini chocolate chips melt slightly on top to enrich the texture and taste. The cake is designed as a quick, individual dessert portion with a soft, dense crumb on the outside and a creamy center.
This recipe requires no oven and minimal preparation, suitable for a convenient protein-rich treat with controlled portion size. The precise microwaving time can be adjusted to reach the preferred gooeyness of the center.
