    Tired of the same old protein cake recipe? I'm excited to share with you this list of deliciousness! I've pulled a few recipes from this blog, as well as ones I've found from other bloggers that I think you'd enjoy. And if you're interested in a super-easy protein cake mix, check out this one from Proteinfull Baking with excellent taste and texture! Happy baking!

    1. Lemon Iced Protein Bundt Cake

    This is one of my new favorite recipes! The cake is made with Proteinfull Baking Classic Yellow Cake Mix, and has a super-soft, super-moist texture. Topped with a sugar-free lemon icing, it's a burst of lemon deliciousness!

    2. Oreo Protein Cake

    oreo-protein-cake-recipe

    This amazing protein cake is made with vanilla PEScience protein (great for baking!) and is topped with OreoThins. Don't mind me, I'm just drooling as I type this. So delicious!

    3. Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Protein Cupcakes

    peanut-butter-chocolate-chip-protein-cupcakes

    These bites of yum are made with vanilla rice protein powder, and the frosting is made with peanut flour (can sub powdered peanut butter). Peanut flour also bakes very well, btw!

    4. Vanilla Protein Cake with Pistachio Frosting

    This protein layer cake is make with vanilla NutraKey and uses pistachio pudding mix in the frosting. Looks delish!

    5. Chocolate Protein Lava Cake

    Let's all stare at that molten cake center. Don't you just want to eat the screen?! This lava-licious protein cake is made with "chocolate protein powder." They don't specify which one, and that drives me nuts! But usually that means chocolate whey, so I'll recommend my favorite, ON natural chocolate. It's a pretty easy recipe, especially for how fancy it looks. Give it a try!

    6. Ganache Frosted Custard Cake

    ganache-frosted-custard-cake

    This one is from my blog bestie, Paige. Her blog is full of healthier baked goods and meals, including lots of protein dessert deliciousness! This one uses Quest Salted Caramel Protein Powder, which is a combination of whey and casein - a great combo for baking!

    7. Healthy Sweet Potato Cupcakes

    This is a super easy recipe made with cooked sweet potato, and it tastes great, too! I used ON Natural Vanilla for this one. Give it a try!

    8. Banana Walnut Protein Cake

    Here is another made with Proteinfull Baking cake mix. Add banana, spices and walnuts, and voila! This one is packed full of flavor and has such a great soft texture.

    9. Chocolate Collagen Mug Cake Recipe

    This interesting recipe uses Paleovalley Bone Broth Protein. I can't say I've tried it myself, but I'm curious! 

    10. Meyer Lemon Protein Cheesecake with Honey Hemp Crust

    meyer-lemon-cheesecake

    Protein cheesecakes generally turn out very well (with whey, not plant protein). The creamy texture of the cheesecake takes the whey very well. I got a little fancy with this recipe, and it did not disappoint! ON Natural vanilla protein is a great choice here.

    11. Vanilla Protein Mug Cake

    This adorable vanilla mug cake is by Sarah at No Excuses Nutrition/ The Nutritionist Mom. She's super creative, and has lots of great recipes!

    12. Sunflower Chocolate Cake

    This moist, delicious protein cake is made with Quest Chocolate Protein Powder. It's decorated to look like a sunflower, but doesn't contain any sunflower seed ingredients. Looks delicious to me!

    13. Star Anise Pear Protein Cupcakes

    Leave it to Paige to take a classic poke cake and make it with added protein, and cook it in a crockpot! She used Quest Strawberry protein, but Quest Vanilla would work just as well.

    18. Blueberry Protein Cake

    Adding fresh blueberries to a protein cake is always a win in to me! This one uses Devotion Nutrition protein and blueberry flavor.
