Quick Step-by-Step Breakdown
(1) Preheat – Set your oven to 350°F and line an 8" cake pan with parchment paper.
(2) Mix Dry Ingredients – In a bowl, whisk together chocolate protein powder, unflavored protein powder, flour, coconut flour, cocoa powder, and baking soda.
(3) Mix Wet Ingredients – In a separate large bowl, whisk hot water, applesauce, melted butter, lemon juice, and vanilla.
(4) Combine – Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet until just combined. Don’t overmix! Overmixing can make the cake dense.
(5) Bake – Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 18–20 minutes. A toothpick should come out clean but still a bit moist.
(6) Cool – Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Chocolate Pudding Topping
Mix Greek yogurt, chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, instant pudding mix, and milk until smooth and creamy—adding milk gradually until it reaches a pudding-like consistency—then spread over the cooled cake for a rich, chocolatey finish!
White Chocolate Pudding Top:
Mix Greek yogurt, vanilla protein powder, white chocolate instant pudding, and milk until smooth—adding milk slowly until thick and creamy—then spread over the chocolate layer, chill for 1 hour, dust with cocoa powder, and slice into 8 delicious servings!
