A super easy and simple Vanilla Protein Cake topped with an Oat Streusel - the perfect high protein cake recipe for a birthday or just a dessert. Made with whole wheat flour and vanilla protein powder, this protein cake is healthy and sugar-free too!

This recipe is a prime example of a last minute recipe and not sticking to a plan. My actual plan was to make a gingerbread coffee cake, which then went to a regular coffee cake, and somehow ended up at this.

I got this box of protein bites mix delivered and thought of using that as the topping for the coffee cake, but turned out those recipes don’t call for oats in the streusel.So I just dropped that plan and went with the protein concept of the mix and made a protein cake instead. No planning needed either coz the recipe really was so easy!
