Have you ever used protein powder as a substitute for regular flour in baked goods? I’ve been doing it for years with some bad, some good, and some fabulous results. Luckily, this strawberry protein cake using biPro’s Strawberry Protein Powder really….um, takes the cake!
Writing the review of biPro’s Strawberry Whey Protein left me craving something full of strawberry goodness to snack on. Maybe share a little with the little one too. A smoothie is easy, but I wanted something I could eat and use as the perfect NuttZo delivery device.
Not sure why it always sits right at the window I look out of most often, but it sure does drive me NuttZ…..O!
Back to the protein cake. With no real recipe to follow, I mixed and measured tossed ingredients together and put it all into the oven. The end result was good, but now I had remake it and actually measure. Ugh. You will be happy to know that the second time around came out even better. Hey, measuring does serve a purpose!
Don’t take my word (or anyone’s word) for it, make it for yourself and taste the proof. Maybe smear a little NuttZo on too.

Keywords: bake bread dessert protein powder cake
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese (can substitute Greek yogurt)
- 2 eggs or 1/2 cup egg whites
- 2 tsp chia seeds
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 cup biPro Strawberry Protein Powder

Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350 F, and line an 8-inch square or round pan with parchment (or grease very well).
2. Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl and let sit at least 10 minutes. If batter is too thick, add unsweetened almond milk 1 tablespoon at a time to help mix it better.
3. Pour batter into the prepared pan, and smooth down evenly. Bake 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.
4. Remove from oven and allow to cool at least 10 minutes before devouring each and every protein-packed bite.
Once you make and devour the protein-packed cake, come back and let me know how you (and, if shared, your friends and family) loved it!
