A moist and decadent chocolate cake packed with high-quality protein and wholesome oat flour, topped with a rich dark chocolate ganache.

Ingredients

Scale

3/4 cup oat flour
1 cup vegan chocolate protein powder
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup maple syrup
3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
1/2 cup full fat plain greek yogurt
1/4 cup avocado oil or melted coconut oil
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
3 Tablespoons unsweetened almond milk (for frosting)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F and spray a 8 inch round cake pan with cooking spray.
  2. Add oat flour, protein powder, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt to a medium mixing bowl and stir to combine.
  3. Add maple syrup, almond milk, yogurt, oil, eggs and vanilla to a large mixing bowl and whisk to combine.

  5. Pour batter into prepared cake pan. Bake for 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  6. Remove from oven and let cool completely before frosting.
  7. While cake is cooling, make the ganache frosting. Add chocolate chips to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 15-second increments until fully melted.
  8. Once melted, add 3 tablespoons of milk and stir to combine.
  9. Frost the top of the cake and serve!

Notes

  • Use plant-based protein for the best texture.
  • Do not overbake as protein powder can dry out quickly.
  • Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
