- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 200 grams all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 50 grams whey protein powder (unflavored or vanilla)
- 60 milliliters milk
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
Step 3
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, whey protein powder, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
Step 6
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Step 8
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Slice the loaf cake once fully cooled and serve as a high-protein snack or dessert.
