Ingredients
  

1 cup vanilla protein powder

1 cup almond flour

1/2 cup coconut flour

1/2 cup erythritol or sugar (adjust based on sweetness preference)

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

4 large eggs

1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce

1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Optional: a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for extra flavor

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

    Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the vanilla protein powder, almond flour, coconut flour, erythritol, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until well combined.

      Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, applesauce, almond milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.

        Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

          Pour Batter: Transfer the cake batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

            Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

              Cool: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

                Serve: Optionally, you can serve it plain or top with a drizzle of icing, fresh berries, or a dollop of Greek yogurt.
