Light enough for breakfast yet sweet enough for dessert, this is a cake you can feel good about.

Made with real ingredients for a subtle lemon and honey flavour, this moist bake contains nearly 10g of protein per slice, thanks to the addition of Pure Unflavoured Organic Whey Protein.

Try it on its own or topped with peanut butter, yoghurt, or fresh berries. It’s simple, versatile, and satisfying at any time of day.

Ingredients

• 200g ground almonds (just over 2 cups / ~480ml)
• 150g melted organic butter (⅔ cup / ~160ml / ~10 tbsp + 2 tsp)

• 50g Pure Unflavoured Organic Whey Protein (2 scoops)
• 3 organic eggs (171g)
• 1 tsp baking powder
• Grated lemon zest (from 1 lemon)
