Tips for this Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cake with Protein Powder

This healthy cinnamon toast crunch cake with protein powder really is easy to make, but here’s some things to follow to get it right.

• Use melted Butter so that it mixes well into the healthy cake batter.
• Don’t over-mix the batter!
• Pour the dry mix into the wet along with the milk and just gently fold them together. Don’t over-mix it or too much gluten will develop, which is what will make the cake gummy and dense.
• There will be some lumps, but that’s completely okay!
• Taste the batter and see if you need some extra sweetener. I’d recommend using stevia powder to maintain the consistency of the batter and have sugar free and healthy cinnamon cake.
• Don’t let the batter sit out too long; Pour immediately into baking pan and bake.
• This is to avoid any reactions between the ingredients.
• Don’t over-bake the cake or it will get tough; Remove when the tester/knife comes out just dry, but moist.
• Let cake cool completely before frosting or the frosting will melt.

For the Frosting in this Macro Friendly Cinnamon Cake:

• Use whey-casein protein powder since it mixes well with the yogurt.
• Only add milk if necessary; Mix the frosting well first, and then add milk if still too dry.
