Ingredients: Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Protein Cake Recipe
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cake
1 box yellow cake mix
3 whole eggs
1 cup canned pumpkin puree
2/3 cup almond milk
2 scoops Ascent Vanilla Bean Micellar Casein
2 scoops Ascent Vanilla Bean Protein Powder
1/3 cup coffee, chilled
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
1/2 cup sugar free dark chocolate chips
Chocolate Protein Sauce
1 scoop Ascent Vanilla Bean Whey Protein
1 tbsp. creamy peanut butter
1 tbsp. cocoa powder
sweetener to taste
3-4 tbsp. almond milk (more or less until it is a thick, sauce consistency)
Note:
*If baking all together in a 9x13 baking dish, bake for about 35 mins or until a knife comes out clean. Be careful not to over-bake, or it will become dry. The Chef took his out when it was still slightly undercooked.
Instructions: Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Protein Cake Recipe
- Add cake mix, casein protein, whey protein, cinnamon, and salt. Mix.
- In a separate bowl, ass pumpkin puree, almond milk, coffee, and vanilla extract. Mix.
