Ingredients

• 60 grams whey protein powder
• 100 grams all-purpose flour
• 50 grams almond flour
• 10 grams baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 200 grams unsweetened Greek yogurt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 large eggs
• 100 grams honey
• 120 milliliters milk
• 60 milliliters olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 9-inch round baking pan with a bit of olive oil or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the whey protein powder, all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until slightly frothy. Add in the Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, honey, milk, and olive oil. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and all components are well integrated.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful to not overmix as this will affect the texture of the bizcocho.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly with a spatula.

Step 6

Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bizcocho comes out clean.

Step 7

Once baked, remove the bizcocho from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

Slice and serve your high protein bizcocho. It's excellent on its own or with a dollop of Greek yogurt on top. Enjoy!
