Amazing Chocolate Protein Skillet Cake with a protein peanut butter frosting! This healthy and low calorie chocolate skillet cake uses protein powder and has no sugar, oil or eggs!
Peanut Butter Frosting:
Preheat oven to 350°F and grease an 8” cast iron skillet.
In a bowl, whisk flour, whey and whey-casein chocolate protein powders, unsweetened cocoa powder, zero calorie sugar replacement and baking soda.
In a large bowl, whisk together hot water, applesauce, butter and lemon juice.
Add dry mix to wet, and gently fold until just combined.
DO NOT OVER-MIX or protein powder will make the cake dense.
Pour batter into pan.
Batter should be ¾ way to the top (it will overflow if too much).
Don’t let the batter sit out.
Bake for 15-16 minutes.
Toothpick inserted into the center should come out dry.
Remove from oven and let cool completely.
Frosting:
In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients - Greek yogurt, protein powder, peanut butter powder and peanut butter.
Let cake cool completely and then frost.
