SERVING SIZE: 1 piece
YIELDS: 8 servings
Cake:
– 50g light butter (I used Country Crock brand)

– 2 tsp ginger paste
– 90g all purpose flour
– 130g vanilla whey (I recommend Devotion Nutrition brand)
– 1/2 tsp baking powder
– 120g unsweetened applesauce
– 1 tsp cinnamon
– 1/2 tsp nutmeg
– 1/4 tsp clove
– Stevia/Splenda to taste (I used about 1 tbsp)

*Note: When baking with protein powder, we recommend staying away from pure isolate powder as that does not bake well (turns recipes to a cardboard texture). Whey/Casein blends usually work best for baking — our favorite is Devotion Nutrition brand. Using another brand of protein powder may result in slightly different macros.
