Date frosting (note 7)
- ½ कप सोया मिल्क प्रोटीन प्लस

अनुदेश
- Before you start, note that due to the high-protein content, the crumb is slightly dryer than regular cake, and, you must add a frosting to enjoy it to the best. You can use the date frosting from the recipe, or my protein powder frosting (seen in pictures above),or simply serve with a dollop of yogurt.
- ओवन को 350°F (180°C) पर पहले से गरम कर लें। एक 9 इंच के चौकोर बेकिंग पैन में हल्के तेल लगे पार्चमेंट पेपर को बिछा दें। इसे अलग रख दें।
- The day before, in a large bowl, add red split lentils, cover the lentils with cold tap water, and make sure you add a good 3 inches (10 cm) of water above the lentil level, as they absorb some during the night. Cover with a lid. Set aside overnight at room temperature.
- The next day, drain red lentils in a sieve, rinse with cold water. Place in a blender jug, milk, yogurt, oil, and vanilla extract.
- Blend on high speed until smooth, with no visible pieces of lentils remaining. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, add all the dry ingredients: flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking soda, and baking powder. Whisk until well combined.
- Bring back the jug with the blended lentils, and pour over the dry ingredients.
- एक रबर स्पैटुला का उपयोग करके धीरे-धीरे सभी सामग्री को तब तक मिलाएं जब तक कि वह चिकनी और एक समान न हो जाए।
- Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan.
- Bake in the center rack of the oven for 30-35 minutes at 350°F (180°C) until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few crumbs on it, meaning the cake is baked, but still moist. Don't over-bake, or it will be very dry, due to the high amount of protein.
- Let the cake cool down for 5 minutes in the pan at room temperature, then on a cooling rack for 3 hours, or until it reaches room temperature, before frosting.
Frosting
- एक सॉस पैन में चॉकलेट चिप्स, बादाम का मक्खन, बादाम का दूध और गुठली निकाली हुई खजूर डालें।
- Bring to medium heat, and stir until the chocolate chips are melted. The dates won't dissolve, but the warm mixture softens the dates, and that's the goal of adding them to the pan now. It takes a few minutes to melt.
- आंच से उतारकर इसे फूड प्रोसेसर में डालें, कोको पाउडर मिलाएं और तेज गति पर प्रोसेस करें।
- फूड प्रोसेसर को कुछ बार रोकें, रबर स्पैटुला से कटोरे को साफ करें और तब तक दोहराएं जब तक कि अधिकांश खजूर अच्छी तरह से ब्लेंड होकर एक चिकनी फ्रॉस्टिंग न बन जाए - इसमें खजूर के छोटे-छोटे टुकड़े रह जाएंगे, और यह ठीक है।
- ठंडा होने पर केक पर फैला दें।

सामग्री और प्रतिस्थापन
इस रेसिपी को बनाने के लिए आपको बस कुछ सरल सामग्रियों की आवश्यकता होगी। आइए जानते हैं कि आप उन्हें कैसे चुन सकते हैं और बदल सकते हैं।

- लाल विभाजित दालें – This is the key ingredient for adding plant-based protein and fiber without using protein powder. You must soak them overnight so they soften and blend perfectly smooth.
- सोया मिल्क प्रोटीन प्लस – This helps blend the lentils and adds even more protein to the cake. You can also use any plant-based milk you love, like oat milk or almond milk, though the final protein count will be a bit lower.
- डेयरी-मुक्त दही – This adds moisture and a slight tang, which balances the sweetness. I recommend a high-protein option like soy yogurt, but any plain, unsweetened plant-based yogurt works.
- हल्के स्वाद वाला जैतून का तेल – This provides essential fat, which is crucial for keeping the crumb moist in such a high-protein cake. You can use any neutral-flavored oil you have, like avocado oil or canola oil.
- वेनीला सत्र – This adds that classic, warm flavor that pairs so well with chocolate.
- बहु - उद्देश्यीय आटा – This ingredient provides the main structure for the cake.
- बिना शक्कर का कोकोआ पाउडर – This gives the cake its deep, rich chocolate flavor.
- अपरिष्कृत गन्ना चीनी – This adds sweetness to balance the bitterness of the cocoa. Other granulated sugars like regular white sugar or coconut sugar are fine, too.
- बेकिंग सोडा – This leavening agent helps the cake rise and creates a lighter texture.
- बेकिंग पाउडर – This is another leavening agent that works with the baking soda to give the cake its lift.
- मेड्युल खजूर – For the frosting, these add natural sweetness and a lovely, subtle caramel flavor.
- बादाम मक्खन – This makes the frosting creamy and helps it set. You can also use cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter for a nut-free version.
- डार्क चॉकलेट – This is the base for the frosting’s rich chocolate flavor. I recommend using dairy-free chocolate chips or a chopped dark chocolate bar.
- कोको पाउडर – Adding this to the frosting just intensifies that chocolatey goodness.
How to Make Chocolate Protein Cake








कैरीन के बेकिंग टिप्स
आइए, मैं आपको एक परफेक्ट केक बनाने के लिए कुछ और टिप्स बताती हूँ।
- Must-Have Frosting – This cake has a lot of protein and fiber, which makes the crumb denser and a bit drier than a typical cake. You really need to serve it with the frosting, or at least a dollop of yogurt, to add moisture and get the best bite.
- Easy Add-Ins – For extra chocolate flavor, feel free to stir in 1/2 cup of dairy-free chocolate chips. Chopped walnuts or pecans also work great for a bit of crunch.
- प्रोटीन को बढ़ावा दें – If you want to increase the protein even more, stir 1/2 cup of hemp seeds into the batter along with the dry ingredients.
- Frosting Swap – If you prefer a frosting that’s lower in calories but still high in protein, you can use my प्रोटीन पाउडर फ्रॉस्टिंग instead of the date-sweetened one.
- ज़्यादा देर तक न पकाएँ – Keep a close eye on the cake. It’s done when the top is set and a toothpick inserted near the side comes out clean. The center might still have a few moist crumbs, which is perfect. Baking it too long will make it dry.
- Keep the Oil – The oil is crucial for moisture in this high-protein cake. Please don’t swap it for fruit puree or extra yogurt, or the texture will be very dry.







I made the Chocolate Protein Cake it turned out great. I used coconut yoghurt Greek style, a vanilla variety might add more flavour. I used Spelt flour as flour option.
In the date frosting I doubled the dates and used dried as I didn’t have Medjool. Soaked them in warm warm prior to use.
I really like this recipe as it was easy to make and will make again. I think it may be nice with chopped walnuts in the cake, and will try next time.
I am so glad you enjoy the cake. Thanks for sharing your techniques.
यह अद्भुत था
Was wondering if I could mash in banana for moisture but I see in comments some I did and no drama. Win win
Extra potassium
Probably, but adding a moist ingredient may impact the firmness, and baking time of your cake too.
This is super yummy! Thank you!
I am so happy you love the cake!
Made these is today with following changes – used my own gluten free flour mix , no sugar , half the oil , extra homemade soy yoghurt, added homemade stewed apples and banana instead of sugar and oil and made I. My air fryer at 160 for about 35-40 minutes- worked out fine ! As I don’t have a sweet tooth – but they are moist and rose up well too !
I am so glad all these changes made the cake delicious.
I loved this❤️❤️❤️thanks for sharing
आपको बहुत बहुत धन्यवाद!
Still in the process of making it but took a moment to write. You do not mention in the recipe when to put the yogurt into the cake batter so I am guessing that is with the lentils and other wet ingredients. Just thought I would mention. Ill return with a comment after.
I am sorry about that, I updated the instructions. It goes with the milk, in the blender. I look forward to hear your feedback on the cake.
नमस्ते।
Could you just replace the wheat flour with Gluten Free premade flour? The type you get from supermarkets for instance Orgran brand?Then I have all the ingredients at home and will bake when it is not 42 deg:) Many thanks. Love your recipes.
NO, you need to do a few more adjustment and use my gluten-free converter यहाँ to make it right
Has anyone added a grated apple or zucchini for extra moisture in cake?
so was it dry then? I have considered making it but the comments about making it more moist worry me. i hate chocolate cake that’s too dry.
The higher the protein in an egg-free cake, the dryer the texture will be. If you like moist chocolate cake, with protein, use my yogurt chocolate cake and use a high protein yogurt like soy yogurt.
You probably can do that, but zucchini release lots of moisture in cakes and the texture of the cake will change, and could become fragile.
