A spot on Protein Chocolate Mud Cake with a dense chocolate cake and frosting - both high protein. This healthy chocolate mud cake is made with chocolate protein powder and cocoa, and is sugar free and Vegan too!
Frosting:
Preheat oven to 350°F and line a 8” cake pan or baking dish with parchment paper.
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, 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, combine protein powder and yogurt.
Add Greek yogurt and mix until combined.
Add milk only if too dry.
Spread frosting over cake.
