Protein Birthday Cake

Ingredients (Cake)

1 cup drained and cooked black beans

1/4 cup of agave syrup

1 cup egg whites

1/2 cup chocolate pea protein powder or chocolate casein

1/2 cup almond milk

1/4 cup cocoa powder

2 tbsp toffee stevia or your sweetener of choice

1 cup oats (gluten-free or regular)

Ingredients (Topping)

3 tubs of Greek yogurt (340g)

1 8-oz. tub of Philadelphia light cream cheese

1/2 cup of vanilla casein (or 1/2 cup of vanilla whey with 2 tbsp of coconut flour)

Directions

1. Blend all cake ingredients together until they’re well combined and the batter is smooth.

2. Bake at 320 F (160 C) for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

3. For the frosting, mix all frosting ingredients together until you get a creamy thick batter.

4. Let the cake cool completely before frosting.

5. Cut the cake in half horizontally and fill it with frosting. Looking for an

added punch of flavor? Coat the middle layer with cherry jam.

6. Frost the sides and top of your cake. Make additional decorations by using

a piping bag. If you want, stay true to traditional black forest cake by adding

shaved dark chocolate and cherries.

7. Top with 16 candles — the extra one is for good luck —close your eyes, and

make a wish. Eat up!
