Protein Orange Almond Cake
Check out this protein orange almond cake recipe! It is quick to make, easy, and requires only a few ingredients.
Ingredients
1 whole unwaxed seedless orange
53g vanilla whey protein
vanilla essence
2 egg yolks
80g ground almonds
Pinch of baking powder
5g extra virgin olive oil
2 egg whites
Directions
1. First, wash and boil your orange, skin and all. When it’s soft (so a knife goes in easily), cut off the top and bottom and cut it in half.
2. Put it in a food processor until you get a mush.
2. In a bowl, mix in 53g of vanilla whey, vanilla essence, and 2 egg yolks. Then, to this, add 80g of ground almonds, pinch (around 1/2 tsp) baking powder, 5g of extra virgin olive oil, and cinnamon.
3. In another bowl, beat 2 egg whites to stiff peaks. Fold the orange/whey mixture into the egg whites.
4. When more or less combined, the whole thing was put on a coconut-oiled cake trey and bake for about 20 minutes at 180 degrees, (celcius).
5. Step 5 is optional but amazing: top with slivered almonds and granulated sweetener!

this looks DIVINE! I’ll be doing it sometimes next week (I’m waiting for the parcel with almond flour in it!!!) but since I’not a big fan of oranges I’m thinking of maybe substituting it with apple? or I need to think of a more exciting fruit. any ideas?
btw I still haven’t made the psylium/eggwhite omlet, but as soon as I’ll try I’ll let you know. i’ve been putting it off because of my previous failures with psyllium. I will get to it at some point though.
btw I love your blog! I’m actually considering making one myself- all thanks to you!

Hi D!!! thanks for liking my bog and a big fat wooohooooooo to starting your own! Let me know when you do and I’ll be on it like a hot protein pancake 😉
About the recipe, as I said here https://www.facebook.com/HighProteinFoods I am thinking of making this cake with a whole lemon next time, some walnuts with the almonds, and poppy seeds. It would result in a Lemon Poppyseed cake OR a bunch of cute lil muffins!! I will try this soon and let you know how it is but I would imagine it would work!
I dunno about substituing the above with apple…maybe? but the texture would be very different… you could use apple sauce instead of the mushed up orange??? 🙂
Just follow the ingredients from above using a lemon instead, maybe add more vanilla and more whey protein (so it does away with any sourness!) and go from there?
Also, almond flour, i just ground a bunch of almonds (or whatever nuts really). Did you get almond flour or ground almonds, are they the same thing? hehe I dunno maybe not! if not, wow! almond flour sounds interesting and I want to hear what it’s like!!!
hi! I got almond, walnut, hazelnut and sesame, oh and coconut! never bought them before, so I have no idea how they taste, but I’ll let you know. they are not the same as ground, because they are previously deoiled and then ground. and the fat % is about 10-15%. I just got the e mail that they will be here before next monday! and I can’t wait. I ordered peanut (deiled) flour before and coconut flour too, and they were very good in baking, but not good on it’s own. also I’m getting 5 (!!!) flavours of protein powder (I have NOTHING left)but there is some problem with a credit card so it will probably take a little over a week.
Right now my kitchen is empty! So the second I get some ingredients I’ll be able to experiment a little. oh and I’ll make that blog soon!
btw, where do you live?
😀
