• ¾ tsp baking powder

Optional:

Directions:

1. Preheat and Prepare:
   • Preheat your oven to 175ºC (350°F).
   • Line a 20 cm (7.8 inches) cake mold with parchment paper.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients:
   • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg and Greek yogurt until smooth.
3. Add Dry Ingredients:
   • To the bowl, add oat flour, protein powder, cocoa powder, and baking powder.
4. Form the Batter:
   • Start mixing, gradually adding milk until a smooth cake batter forms. The amount of milk needed can vary based on the type of protein powder used. Begin with 60 ml and increase as needed to achieve the desired consistency.
5. Bake:
   • Pour the batter into the prepared mold and place it in the preheated oven.
   • Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Cool and Serve:
   • Let the cake cool in the mold before transferring it to a serving plate. This ensures it sets properly and holds its shape.

Notes:

• Protein Powder: The consistency of the batter might vary depending on the brand and type of protein powder used. Adjust the milk accordingly.
• Sweetener: If using unflavored protein powder, you might want to add a sweetener. Adjust this according to your taste preferences.
