Why This Recipe Works:

This high-protein chocolate cake is made with a combination of protein powder and Greek yogurt, both of which contribute significantly to its protein content. The almond flour provides healthy fats and fiber, while the cocoa powder gives it that rich, indulgent chocolate flavor you crave without the added sugar. The eggs keep it moist, and the Greek yogurt adds extra protein while making the cake fluffier.

Recommended Pairings:

• Pair this cake with a cup of chamomile or peppermint teafor a relaxing night.

• For a bolder pairing, enjoy with a decaf espressofor a mocha-inspired treat.
