Preheat oven to 350°F and line bottom of 2 8” round cake pans with parchment paper; Spray sides with cooking spray.
In a bowl, combine flour, chocolate protein powders, cocoa powder, sweetener and baking soda. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together hot water, applesauce, butter, lemon juice and red food color.
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, and bake for 25-30 minutes.
Don’t let the batter sit out.
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:
In a bowl beat softened cream cheese with hand mixer until fluffy.
Add yogurt and beat again.
Add protein powder and mix until smooth.
Spread half mixture on one cake layer, place second layer on top, and spread remaining frosting on top.
