Ingredients
- 6 Eggs, large
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 125 grams All-purpose flour
- 40 grams Vanilla protein powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 100 grams Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 50 ml Milk
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F). Grease and line an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl or a stand mixer, add the eggs and granulated sugar. Beat on high speed for about 10 minutes or until the mixture becomes thick and pale in color.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, vanilla protein powder, baking powder, and salt to ensure there are no lumps. Gradually fold this dry mixture into the beaten egg and sugar mixture using a spatula. Be careful not to deflate the mixture; use gentle motions.
Step 4
Add the melted butter, vanilla extract, and milk into the bowl. Gently fold these wet ingredients into the batter until everything is well combined. The batter should be smooth and glossy.
Step 5
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 7
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 8
Slice the cake into even pieces and serve. Enjoy your nutritious and flavorful High Protein Classic Bolu!
