Strawberry White Chocolate Protein Cake

I was initially going to make a breakfast bread with this recipe. But shoot. I wanted cake! I tweaked the recipe a bit so I could make a cake. Strawberry + white chocolate = heaven! This is a sweet treat you won't regret making. Plus, the white chocolate drizzle makes everything better. Enjoy.

Ingredients

1 cup oat flour (or whole wheat flour)

¼ cup almond meal flour

1 scoop Vitacost vanilla whey protein powder

1 tsp. baking powder

½ tsp. baking soda

Pinch of salt

¼ cup Vitacost coconut sugar (or sweetener of choice)

¼ cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)

¼ cup plain greek yogurt

1 large egg

2 Tbsp. Vitacost liquid coconut oil (or unsweetened applesauce)

1 Tbsp. Vitacost apple cider vinegar

1 tsp. vanilla extract

¾ cup diced strawberries

2 Tbsp. white chocolate chips

Optional Toppings: sliced strawberries and melted white chocolate chips

Method

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 6” cake pan with non-stick spray and set aside.

2. In a mixing bowl, stir together flours, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and coconut sugar. In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, yogurt, egg, oil, vinegar, and extract and let sit for 10 minutes. Pour wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and stir. Add in the strawberries and white chocolate chips and stir until well combined.

3. Pour batter into the cake pan and bake in the oven for 30-34 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean when inserted into center of cake. Let cool for 1 hour then cut into 8 even slices. Add optional toppings, if desired. Serve immediately and store leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days.
