Protein Cake - Chocolate, single-serving

2 tbsp non-flavored hemp protein powder or other protein powder *see note
1 tbsp cocoa powder
1/4 cup egg whites
1 tbsp unsweetened apple sauce
10 drops liquid stevia or 1/2 tbsp honey or other sweetener (not included in nutrition calculations, as I used stevia or Splenda)

*Note: If using whey protein, I recommend the following:
1. Do not use 3T of protein powder. Stick with the 2:1 protein-to-cocoa ratio above.
2. Be sure to thoroughly mix your whey protein - you may want to use a shaker for this.
3. Be sure not to overcook. I only had to bake mine for 15 minutes before it was done.

1. Preheat oven to 375F.
2. Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and mix until fully incorporated.
3. Drop mixture into a ~250mL (1 cup) oven-safe ramekin.
4. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Serving Size: Makes 1 souffle-like protein cake.

Number of Servings: 1
