vanilla protein cake
Protein Cake
Soft, simple, and just sweet enough. This vanilla cake is what happens when a craving and self-control meet in the middle. Fluffy and warm with classic vanilla flavour, but still actually doing something for you — the kind of snack that keeps you going instead of sending you back into the pantry.
Made with VitaHustle protein powder — smooth, no chalky finish, no weird aftertaste, just cake with good intentions ;)
Prep time: 3 minutes
Cook time: ~20- 25 minutes (oven)
Servings: 1 cake
Ingredients
½ cup cottage cheese
1 tbsp Greek yogurt
½ tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp sweetener of choice ( I went with Monk Fruit)
1 scoop VitaHustle (vanilla) protein
Directions:
Combine all ingredients in a blender or small food processor until smooth.
Pour the batter into a greased small oven-safe dish.
Oven: Preheat to 350°F (175°C), bake 20–25 minutes until cooked through.Let cool slightly — it will firm up and get more cake-like.
Healthy Vanilla Butter Icing
Ingredients
2 tbsp softened butter
1–2 tbsp powdered or granulated healthy sweetener (monk fruit, allulose, or erythritol work best)
½ tsp vanilla extract
1–2 tsp milk, cream, or almond milk (to loosen it up)
Pinch of salt (optional but bloody amazing)
How to make it
In a small bowl, whip the softened butter with a fork or hand mixer until creamy and pale.
Add the sweetener and vanilla. Whip again until smooth and fluffy.
Slowly add milk a teaspoon at a time until you get a soft, spreadable icing.
Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
It should be light, silky, and just sweet enough not tooth-aching frosting, perfect for your vanilla protein cake… a soft finish on a very good decision ;)
