Tips for the Best Mini Protein Cake
A few simple tricks can help you get the texture you're looking for.
Start With One Minute
Microwave times can vary, so start with 1 minute if you prefer a softer, gooey center. Add more time in short increments until you reach your desired texture.
Mix Everything Well
Make sure the egg, Greek yogurt, protein powder, cocoa powder, and Lakanto Monkfruit with Allulose are fully combined before microwaving. This helps create a smooth, evenly textured cake.
Add Chocolate Chips While It's Warm
Once the cake comes out of the microwave, add your chocolate chips right away. The warmth of the cake will help them get soft and melty.
Don't Overcook It
The cake will continue to cook slightly after coming out of the microwave. If you prefer a softer texture, it's better to start with less time and add more as needed.
