Decadent High-Protein Chocolate Cake

Decadent High-Protein Chocolate Cake

Directions: 

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8-inch round pan with parchment.
2. In a bowl, whisk all wet ingredients until completely smooth (blender works great).
3. In another bowl, mix dry ingredients.
4. Fold dry into wet just until combined. Stir in dark chocolate if using.
5. Pour into pan and smooth the top.
6. Bake 30–35 minutes, until just set in the centre (don’t overbake).
7. Cool fully before slicing into two layers.
8. Ice and decorate as you would like.
9. Tip: Chill overnight for a truffle-like texture, it gets richer as it cools.

• ¾ cup Greek yogurt
• 2 tbsp cocoa powder
