    We used Proteinfull Baking's classic yellow protein cake mix for this recipe because it's easy and has the best protein cake flavor and texture.

    And we topped it with our Cream Cheese Protein Frosting. So good! **If you're out of vanilla protein powder for the frosting, try Proteinfull baking's Sugar-Free Cream Cheese Frosting recipe. Also delicious!
