Ingredients used

1 cup almond flour
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup Greek yogurt (for frosting)

1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons cocoa powder (optional for chocolate flavor)

3 large eggs

Preparation method

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8-inch round cake pan.

In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, protein powder, baking soda, cocoa powder (if using), and salt. Mix well.

In another bowl, whisk together eggs, applesauce, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, spread Greek yogurt on top as frosting.
