It’s my birthday and I’ve baked myself the cake of my dreams! This Double Decker Chocolate Cake is more than your ordinary chocolate cake because I’ve given it the ideal healthy twist and doesn’t skimp on taste or indulgence. This cake is all about celebrating with a little extra protein! I wanted to make myself something that supported my body, celebrated my body and made me do a little happy dance in my body!!
The addition of protein powder helps balance blood sugar levels, making this cake a more nutritious option for a celebratory dessert. I absolutely love a dessert that doesn’t taste healthy but you know it is! Adding protein to a cake is just the cherry on top because really most cakes lack protein altogether!
The process of making this cake is a delightful journey. The fusion of hot coffee with dark chocolate creates a luscious base, while the blend of gluten-free flours and protein powder forms a nutritious yet delicious structure. Not to mention the coffee just smells so dang good when you’re baking! The icing, whipped to perfection, is a creamy topping that’s just as protein-rich.
You don’t have to be celebrating a birthday to enjoy this cake but if you are, it makes it that much sweeter! I am also sure this recipe would do wonderfully in cupcakes – I haven’t tried it because I’m a cake gal but if you do let me know! This Double Decker Chocolate Cake is my birthday gift to myself and to all of you. It’s proof that you can have your cake, eat it, and still keep it healthy. Let’s get baking and enjoy a slice (or two) of this delightful, protein-packed treat!
