Ingredients

• 5 large Egg whites
• 80 grams Granulated sugar
• 30 grams Cocoa powder
• 60 grams All-purpose flour
• 40 grams Whey protein isolate (unflavored)
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Cream of tartar
• 50 milliliters Unsweetened almond milk
• 150 grams Non-fat Greek yogurt
• 50 grams Dark chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 10x15 inch baking pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, flour, whey protein isolate, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites until foamy. Add cream of tartar, and continue to beat until soft peaks form.

Step 4

Gradually add the granulated sugar to the egg whites, beating continuously until stiff peaks form.

Step 5

Gently fold the vanilla extract into the egg white mixture.

Step 6

Carefully fold in the dry ingredient mixture into the egg whites in small batches, alternating with almond milk, ensuring to maintain the airiness of the batter.

Step 7

Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cake springs back when gently touched.

Step 9

While the cake is baking, prepare a clean kitchen towel and dust it with a light layer of cocoa powder.

Step 10

Once the cake is baked, immediately turn it out onto the towel and carefully peel away the parchment paper.

Step 11

Roll the cake up with the towel from the short end, creating a spiral. Let it cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 12

Prepare the filling by melting the dark chocolate chips in a microwave or over a double boiler.

Step 13

Mix the melted chocolate with Greek yogurt until smooth to create the chocolate protein filling.

Step 14

Once the cake is cool, gently unroll, and spread the filling evenly over the surface.

Step 15

Roll the cake back up without the towel, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.

Step 16

Slice the roll cake into 8 servings and enjoy your high protein chocolate roll cake.
