Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan with a bit of olive oil or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, whey protein isolate, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until frothy. Then add the Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla extract, milk, and olive oil. Mix until the ingredients are well combined.

Step 4

Gradually incorporate the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until a smooth batter forms.

Step 5

Fold in the dark chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs attached.

Step 8

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before removing it to cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 9

Optionally, dust the top of the cake with a bit of extra cocoa powder or protein powder before serving.
