Chocolate & Peanut Butter Protein Cake

Celebrations, Gluten Free, Sweet Things, Vegetarian

I’m not usually huuuuuge into birthday cakes. I mean, I’m not insane, if someone places a slice in front of me I’ll happily eat it, but it’s never something I seek out. Cookies? Carrot cake? Brownies? I’m there in a heartbeat. Now this Chocolate & Peanut Butter Protein Cake also has a place in my heart.

I made it for MissFits Nutrition to celebrate their 1st birthday (woop woop) and used the Chocolate Multitasker protein for this and the cake came out moist and delicious – perfect as a sweet treat or healthy snack!
