Ingredients
Instructions

  4. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Notes
If you have chocolate protein powder, replace the hemp protein and cocoa powder with 3 tablespoon protein powder. I’ve been told that rice, vega, whey and pea protein work well with these cakes as well.
Can be made vegan by removing egg white, replacing with 1 tablespoon freshly ground flax + 3 tablespoon warm water left to sit for 5 minutes. Add 1 teaspoon arrowroot powder to the recipe. The cake will be very dense, will not rise as well, but is really good!
