Ingredients
- 80 grams Protein powder (chocolate flavor)
- 160 grams All-purpose flour
- 50 grams Cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 115 grams Unsalted butter, softened
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 50 grams Brown sugar
- 3 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 120 grams Greek yogurt
- 120 ml Milk
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and line two 8-inch round cake pans with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, sift together protein powder, all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 4
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 5
Mix in the Greek yogurt until well combined.
Step 6
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined.
Step 7
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Smooth the tops with a spatula.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Step 9
Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn them out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Frost with your favorite high-protein frosting or enjoy as is.
