FLOURLESS CHOCOLATE PROTEIN CAKE

This Flourless Chocolate Protein Cake is meant for one, but you can share it with your sweetheart if you want to ;) Think rich chocolate cake with a gooey center, perfect topped with raspberries or more chocolate hazelnut butter! This decadent cake has healthy fats, only 10 grams of net carbs, and 30 grams of protein.

NOTES: For an extra moist cake, you can swap the milk for unsweetened applesauce or pumpkin (the milk is more neutral tasting). We used Swerve granulated erythritol to sweeten this cake, but you can use any sweetener that measures 1:1 like sugar.
