Ingredients

  • 1/2 scoop 16g Protein Powder, vanilla or birthday cake if you have it
  • 1 tsp Swerve Confectioners or 0-Calorie Sweetener
  • 1 Tbsp 14g Light Butter
  • 1/4 C 60g Unsweetened Apple Sauce
  • 1 Tbsp 7g Coconut Flour
  • 1/2 Tbsp Imitation Vanilla

Icing

  • 1 Tbsp 15mL Fat-Free Evaporated Milk, or any low-cal liquid
  • 1/2 scoop 16g Protein Powder , vanilla or birthday cake if you have it
  • 1 tsp Swerve Confectioners
  • 1 tsp Rainbow Sprinkles

Instructions

  • Mix all cake ingredients in a small bowl. Spray the edges with nonstick cooking spray. For best results, mix ingredients in a separate bowl than you cook the cake in. 
  • Microwave the cake for 45-60 seconds, watching for overflow. If the cake starts to bubble over, stop the microwave and cook it in 3-5 second intervals until finished. (If you're doubling the recipe, cook the cake for 90-120 seconds. Do not overcook. 
  • Once the cake is finished, mixed your icing ingredients except for the sprinkles in a small bowl. Top the cake with the icing before adding the sprinkles. Dig in!
