Ingredients

  • 14 tablespoons 200g Unsalted Butter, softened
  • 1 cup + 2 tablespoons 225g Light Brown Sugar
  • 2 large Eggs beaten
  • 1 1/2 cup 380g Canned Pumpkin
  • 2/3 cup 150g Fat Free Greek Yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 1/4 cup 150g All Purpose Flour, sifted
  • 3 scoops 93g PEScience Pumpkin Pie Protein Powder*
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 2 tablespoons 20g Cocoa Powder
  • 2 tablespoons 30mL Milk
  • 2/3 cup 100g Dark Chocolate Chips

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Generously grease the bundt pan with butter.
  • Cream the softened butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
  • Gradually add the beaten eggs into the butter and sugar mixture. Make sure that the eggs are completely incorporated after each addition.
  • In a small bowl, add the canned pumpkin, Greek yogurt, and vanilla. Fully combine.
  • In another bowl, sift the flour, protein powder, and baking soda together. Fully combine.
  • Gently fold in one third of the pumpkin mixture, followed by one third of the flour mixture. Continue adding the rest until fully combined.
  • Remove one third of the pumpkin batter and place in a small bowl. Add the cocoa powder and whole milk. Fully combine.
  • Add the dark chocolate chips to the remaining pumpkin batter and gently fold in until the chocolate chips are evenly dispersed in the batter.
  • Alternatively add the chocolate and pumpkin batters into the greased bundt pan, swirling the batter to create a marbled design.
  • Bake for 50 minutes, until the cake reaches 210ºF or a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • Remove the cake from the oven and cool for 15 minutes before flipping onto a cooling rack. Allow the cake to cook completely before serving.

Notes

*If you only have vanilla protein powder, you can add 1/2-1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice. PEScience protein powder is a blend of whey and casein protein, and I don't recommend using a whey-only protein powder. You can save 15% on PEScience products (even sample packs) using my affiliate code MASON.
