Melting the chocolate & coconut oil together. If you are a fan of butter, you can replace the oil with butter. Be sure to use organic butter and getting the butter from a grass-fed source is the absolute best. You can find grass-fed products at your local natural food store or local farm 🙂
Be sure to look for a good quality protein powder to make the cake tasty. You don’t want to mess up your perfect dessert 🙂
Believe me when I say BioTrust is one of the best tasting protein powders out there. Once you try it, it’s hard to have any others.
The cooking time varies each time you make it and with different ovens. The first time I made this I left it in for 12 minutes. The second time it took 14 minutes, so be sure to watch closely. Should be finished between 12 and 14 minutes.
I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I did! My friends didn’t believe this was healthy and that I used ONLY the ingredients listed. Cooking with healthy ingredients can be a challenge, but stick with me and I can show you how to use healthy ingredients to make delicious tasting foods.

PS. I think I might use this recipe for Milia’s birthday cake. It would be neat to have each child decorate their own cake before they enjoy it 😀
BioTrust also uses very high quality natural ingredients free from artificial sweeteners, colors and preservatives.
what would be a good substitute for coconut sugar?
Maybe a ripe banana in combination with the dark chocolate chips and a chocolate protein powder it would be sweet enough? A little strawberries and whipped cream never hurts either ;D
Try another sweetener. The problem with replacing it with something liquid or mashed is that it may be too runny and may not cook the same. When replacing coconut sugar you can use the same amount of the substitute. If you give it a try with someone else, let me know how it goes!
Hi Flavia. Looks Devine!! Just curious though..why only half a teaspoon of protein powder? It seems so little. Does it make much of a difference if you don’t add it?..thank you 🙂

you can use 1/2 to 1 tsp. It may be a little too much liquid id you take out something that is dry, but you could try a little little more flour.
Let me know how it goes!
Came out perfect and so easy to make! If you have a bad chocolate crave this is it!
Will definitely make again 🙂 Thanks Flavia
