Protein Coffee Cake With Streusel (Complete but Easy)

Preheat oven to 350°F and line an 8×8” baking pan with parchment paper; Spray sides with cooking spray.

In a bowl, combine whole wheat flour, half protein powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.

In a large bowl, beat together butter and half protein powder using an electric hand mixer or paddle attachment until combined.

Add Greek yogurt, milk and egg and beat again.

Add dry mix to wet and fold using a large spoon or spatula.DO NOT OVER-MIX or the cake will be tough because of the protein powder and gluten from the whole wheat flour.

Make streusel:

In another bowl, combine flour, zero calorie sugar replacement, cinnamon and coffee.

And butter cubes and a fork to work mixture to form heavy crumbs.

Spread ½ cake batter into baking pan, sprinkle on half streusel, spread remaining batter (flatten with back of spoon or spatula), top with remaining coffee-cinnamon mixture.

Bake on center rack for 25-30 minutes, until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean and center of cake is springy to touch.

Transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
