Double Chocolate Banana Protein Cake
I made the most amazing chocolate cake last night. Since I have been pregnant with my little girl, I have had chocolate cravings like I have never had!
This cake certainly hit the spot and much more-my son and husband were dying for seconds! To be honest, it wasn’t too unhealthy either.
The cake turned out to be the MOIST, tastiest cake I had ever eaten-without frosting anyway 🙂 I even added a few sprinkles on top to give it a fun vibe. You wouldn’t know this cake was packed with protein by how good it tasted-not saying all protein powder recipes are terrible because I make some pretty good ones! But some recipes using protein powder tend to dry out a bit. Oh no-not THIS.
Here’s how you can make your own! You can thank me later.

- In a separate bowl, mix together the wheat flour, protein powder, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until incorporated.
