    Another delicious treat from my CSA last summer was a bunch of Chardonnay grapes. I had just started planning for this blog, and I couldn't think of a better way to use them than to bake them into a Chardonnay Grape Protein Cake!

    I had these big plans of seeding the grapes and using some kind of grape mash, but really what happened is that I was left with juice. (So you could just as easily make this cake with some store-bought grape juice!) The flavor of these grapes is mild, and gave a delicious sweetness to the cake.

    Although the cake itself was great, I added a lemon-grape protein icing for an extra kick of flavor and texture.

    Chardonnay Grape Protein Cake, a sweet and delicious way to hit your macros!

    Ingredients

    Cake:

    • 6 large egg whites 198g
    • ⅔ cup Chardonnay grape juice 151g
    • 3 tablespoons coconut flour 21g
    • 3 tablespoons almond meal 21g
    • ⅓ cup natural vanilla rice protein powder 37g
    • ⅓ cup natural vanilla whey protein powder 31g
    • ¾ teaspoon baking powder 3.7ml

    Icing:

    • 3 tablespoons Chardonnay grape juice 45ml or 43g
    • ½ cup unflavored whey protein powder 45g
    • ¼ teaspoon lemon zest or to taste

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 325F (163C).
    • Line a 6" round (or similarly sized) pan with parchment paper (if not using a silicone pan).
    • Blend egg whites for 30 seconds.
    • Add juice and blend for 10 seconds more.
    • Add remaining cake ingredients and blend for 30 seconds more or until smooth.
    • Pour batter into pan.
    • Bake for about 45 minutes, until the cake is firm and a toothpick comes out clean.
    • Once the cake is cooled, mix the icing ingredients.
    • Pour icing over cake. Slice, and enjoy!
    • Store in the refrigerator.

    Notes

    A note about substitutions: You might try replacing the vanilla rice protein with another vegan protein, like pea protein. Otherwise you might replace the whey, rice, and coconut flour with its total volume of Warrior Blend vanilla protein powder, which bakes up very well. You could also replace the Chardonnay grape juice with store-bought white grape juice.
    Almond meal can be made by pulsing almonds in a food processor. Sift out the large pieces and pulse again. Be careful not to overprocess, as this will give you almond butter.
