Ingredients



This protein-packed cake is easy to make with just a few simple ingredients. For the cake itself, you’ll need:

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup whey protein powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup low-fat milk


For the frosting, you’ll need:

  • 4 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup whey protein powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons low-fat milk

Instructions

Making the Cake



Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and set aside.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, whey protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat together the applesauce, honey, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool for 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Making the Frosting



To make the frosting, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, whey protein powder, vanilla extract, and milk until light and fluffy. Spread the frosting over the cooled cake and decorate as desired.
