    Cake:

    11g vanilla protein powder (I used vega)

    10g soy protein (or other unflavoured protein)

    10g oat flour

    1 tbsp (6g) cocoa powder

    1 tsp baking powder

    pinch of salt, espresso powder (optional)

    2 tbsp applesauce

    1 tbsp nondairy yogurt

    20mL (4 tsp) soy/almond milk

    1/2 tsp vanilla extract

    liquid stevia to taste (I used about 12 drops)

    Combine dry ingredients and then add in wet and adjust sweetener to taste. You may need a tiny bit more milk (it should be thick but not doughy). Microwave for 90 seconds, until springy. Cake alone is 156 cal, 15.7g protein

    Icing:

    3 tbsp pumpkin puree or applesauce

    2 tsp (4g) cocoa powder

    5g soy protein (any protein powder would work here)

    1/4 tsp vanilla extract

    liquid stevia to taste (I used about 5 drops)

    Mix everything together until smooth. Icing alone is 45 cal, 3.6g protein

    I cut the cake in half to make layers and spread frosting in between and on top. Also added a bit of hazelnut butter and some frozen raspberry bits for an extra 27 cals. I would highly recommend serving with nut butter and fruit, it really makes it extra good!

    The texture is amazing, not dense or chewy at all but fluffy and actually tasted like cake. Definitely my best one yet! The icing could use some perfecting but imo it was delicious.

  2. Oh thank you for this!! I’ve been having not so healthy mug cakes lately this is perfect timing

  3. Thanks a lot for this, definitely trying it soon! One question: do you think a flax egg could work in place of the applesauce?

    Edit: also, microwave on what power setting?
