Ingredients

• 1 cup almond flour
• 1 cup vanilla protein powder
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 0.5 cup honey
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, vanilla protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In another bowl, beat the eggs lightly. Add Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract, and whisk until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Gently fold in 1 and 1/2 cups of the mixed berries, being careful not to mash them.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Scatter the remaining 1/2 cup of mixed berries over the top of the batter for decoration.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Once cooled, slice and serve the cake. Enjoy as is, or with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a sprinkle of powdered sugar, if desired.
