Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease an 8-inch round cake pan.

  • Add Greek yogurt, liquid egg whites, almond milk, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients.
  • Mix until a smooth, homogenous batter forms, ensuring no dry pockets remain.
  • Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 22-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Remove from oven and allow the cake to cool completely on a wire rack before frosting.
  • In a separate narrow bowl, combine 10g instant coffee, hot water, and 25g erythritol.
  • Using a hand mixer, whip the coffee mixture on high speed for 3 to 5 minutes until stiff, light-colored peaks form.
  • Gently fold the 15g vanilla protein powder into the whipped coffee foam using a spatula to preserve aeration.
  • Spread the protein Dalgona frosting over the cooled cake and serve immediately.
