Ingredients:

• 2 Apple (180g)

• 2 large eggs (100g)

• 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (32g)

• 5 tbsp cocoa powder (25g)

• 0.5 tsp baking powder (2g)

• 0.5 tsp Truvia (or sweetener of choice) (2g)

Instructions:

• Preheat the Oven:

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a small baking dish or line it with parchment paper.

• Prepare the Base:

  • If using an apple: Blend the chopped apple in a food processor or blender until smooth.

  • If using cottage cheese or tofu: Blend until smooth for a creamy base.

• Mix Wet Ingredients:

  • Add the apple puree (or cottage cheese/tofu) to a mixing bowl.

  • Whisk in the whole egg and egg white until fully combined.

• Combine Dry Ingredients:

  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the protein powder, cocoa powder, and baking powder.

  • Slowly add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until smooth. If the batter feels too thick, add 1–2 tablespoons of water or milk (almond, oat, or dairy).

• Optional Sweetener:

  • Taste the batter and add a sweetener if desired. Mix well.

• Bake:

  • Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish.

  • Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

• Cool and Serve:

  • Let the cake cool for 10–15 minutes before slicing.

  • For extra protein, top with Greek yogurt frosting (Greek yogurt + cocoa powder + sweetener) or sprinkle with chopped nuts or seeds.
