Streusel:
Icing:
Preheat oven to 350°F and line a 8” cake pan or baking dish with parchment paper.
In a bowl, whisk chocolate protein powder, unflavored protein powder, flour, coconut flour, cocoa powder and baking soda.
In a large bowl, whisk together hot water, applesauce, butter, lemon juice and vanilla.
Add dry mix to wet, and gently fold until just combined.
DO NOT OVER-MIX or protein powder will make the cake dense.
Streusel:
In a small food processor, combine flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and butter.
Blitz until just combined and crumbly.
Do not over-process or butter will get warm and melt.
Bake:
Pour batter into pan, sprinkle streusel on top.
Bake for 22-25 minutes.
A tester inserted into the center should come out clean but moist.
Let cool for 10 minutes, transfer to cooling rack to cool completely.
Icing:
Let coffee cake cool completely before icing.
In a small bowl, combine powdered sugar and milk (add little at a time).
Drizzle over cooled cake.
Slice into 12 pieces.
