Ingredients

Cake:

Glaze:

  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • teaspoon ground cloves

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325F (163C).
  • Blend the egg whites, apples, and vanilla for about 30 seconds.
  • Add the rest of the ingredients for the cake and blend for another 30 seconds. Scrape down the sides of the blender with a spatula, if necessary, and blend again until well combined (another 30 seconds or so).
  • Pour batter into a 7" or 8" square pan, or any baking pan of similar size. (If you are not using silicone bakeware, be sure to line your pan with parchment paper.)
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and let cool.
  • Mix maple syrup with cloves, and brush over top of cake.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

A note about substitutions: because each type of protein powder has a distinct flavor and texture when baked, I would not try substituting different types of protein powders in this recipe. You may substitute pears for the apples, if you like.
