Preheat oven to 350°F and line an 8”x8” baking pan or 2 8"x4" loaf pans with parchment paper.
In a bowl, whisk flour, vanilla protein powder, unflavored protein powder, coconut flour and baking soda.
In a large bowl, whisk together hot water, applesauce, lemon juice, melted butter and vanilla.
Add wet mix to dry, and gently whisk until just combined.
DO NOT OVER-MIX or protein powder will make the cake dense.
Pour batter into pan or divide equally among loaf pans (don’t let the batter sit out).
Bake for 22-23 minutes, cover with foil, bake another 8-10 minutes.
A tester inserted into the center should come out clean and center of cake springy to touch.
Let cool in pan for 10 minutes then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Frosting:

Add in mini chocolate chips and mix with spoon.
Spread half frosting over one half of cake.
Cover with other half.
