 Frosting

✅NOTES

*Swerve is a sugar free sweetener that measures cup for cup with sugar but has 0g of sugar. It bakes and tastes just like sugar. It can be found in the baking aisle of most grocery stores. 

**We are currently OUT OF STOCK of ONE Protein. Hopefully you still have some left for this recipe. We DO NOT recommend using whey protein. Must be a whey / casein blend like ONE Protein to turn out the same. 

✅INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat the oven to 350F. Add all dry ingredients (flour, protein powder, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt) to a large bowl. Mix.  
2. In a separate bowl whisk together Swerve brown sugar with wet ingredients (eggs, egg whites, Greek yogurt, applesauce, red food coloring and vanilla extract). Combine wet and dry ingredients and gently stir together until smooth.  
3. Line a 9-inch cake pan with parchment paper or spray with nonstick spray. Pour batter into pan. Sprinkle the top with dark chocolate chunks.  
4. Bake at 350F for 25 minutes. The center should be slightly underdone and the edges set. Do NOT overcook. When they cool from the oven they will set up and have a delicious fudgy consistency.  
5. While cooling, make the frosting. Heat the chocolate chips in the microwave until melted, stirring every 30 seconds. Add protein powder and milk. MIx until a smooth, thick frosting is made.
