the taste and texture

how to make this delicious cake

making this no bake vegan double chocolate protein cake is incredibly simple and quick. here’s how you do it:

ingredients

cake:

• 1 cup pitted medjool dates
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup chocolate protein powder (vanilla can be substituted)
• 1 medium-sized ripe avocado
• 1/2 cup runny almond butter
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

frosting:

• 1 scoop vanilla or chocolate protein powder
• 1/8 cup maple syrup
• 1/3 cup melted unsweetened chocolate (using sweetened chocolate will make it quite sweet)

directions

1. prepare the cake:
   • in a food processor, combine the pitted medjool dates, cocoa powder, chocolate protein powder, avocado, almond butter, and vanilla extract.
   • blend until the mixture forms a dough-like consistency.
   • remove the dough from the food processor and shape it into a cake (you can use a round cake pan or shape it by hand).
   • place the cake in the freezer and freeze for 1 hour.
2. prepare the frosting:
   • in the same (or cleaned) food processor, blend together the protein powder, maple syrup, and melted unsweetened chocolate until smooth.
3. frost the cake:
   • after the cake has been in the freezer for 1 hour, remove it and spread the frosting evenly over the top.
   • return the cake to the freezer and freeze for an additional 1-2 hours.
4. serve:
   • when ready to eat, remove the cake from the freezer and let it thaw for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
   • store any leftovers in the freezer, and thaw slightly before eating.

packed with protein and nutrients

this cake isn’t just a treat for your taste buds; it’s also packed with protein and nutrients.

the dates provide natural sweetness and are rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals.

avocado adds healthy fats and a creamy texture, while almond butter contributes protein and additional healthy fats.

the protein powder boosts the protein content, making this cake a great option for a post-workout snack or a healthy dessert.

nutritious and versatile

one of the great things about this recipe is its versatility.

if you don’t have chocolate protein powder, vanilla works just as well.

you can also substitute almond butter with any nut or seed butter of your choice, such as peanut butter or sunflower seed butter.

for those who prefer a sweeter frosting, using sweetened chocolate instead of unsweetened can add a touch more sweetness.

storage tips

this cake is best stored in the freezer.

keep it in an airtight container to maintain its freshness and flavor.

when you’re ready to enjoy a slice, simply take it out of the freezer and let it thaw for a few minutes.

this makes it a perfect make-ahead dessert that you can always have on hand for when those chocolate cravings strike.
