    Chocolate Sea Salt Protein Chocolate

Preparation

  • 1

    Preheat the oven to 180° C.

    Grate the zucchini and squeeze it firmly to remove as much excess liquid as possible. Empty into a large bowl.

  • 3

    Stir in sweetener and eggs.

  • 4

    Add the hazelnut flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and Whey Protein to the bowl. Mix until a smooth batter is formed.

  • 5

    Line a loaf pan with parchment paper and pour the batter into it. Bake the cake for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the thickest part of the cake comes out clean. Set aside to cool.

  • 6

    Melt the Protein Chocolate, or use one of ours spreadable creams, in a bain-marie and spread it as a glaze on the cooled zucchini cake. Drizzle over the chocolate zucchini cake once the cake has cooled.
