Few things in life give us the same pleasure that a slice of chocolate cake does. Particularly a nice, gooey, fudgey chocolate cake that gives over 13g protein per slice and is entirely plant-based!
Made with our newest vegan protein flavour, Pea Protein Cocoa Orange Zest, this vegan Chocolate Fudge Cake has a rich and zesty flavour that makes it a real crowd-pleaser. Being plant-based, it also suits a range of diets.

½ cup almond flour
1 cup cocoa powder
½ scoop Pea Protein Cocoa and Orange zest

Fudge Cake Method

- Pour equal amounts of the mixture into 2 greased cake tins.
- Bake them both for 30-40 minutes at 170℃.
- Put all the chocolate frosting ingredients in a food processor and mix until smooth, creamy.
- Mix thick coconut cream with chopped dark chocolate and maple syrup until well combined.
- Take the cakes out of the oven & allow them to cool down to room temperature.
- Put half of the thick layer of the frosting on the top of one of the cakes and spread the coconut cream layer on the top of the chocolate cream.
- Put the other cake on top.
- Cover the entire cake with the rest of the frosting.
- Place in the fridge to set for about 1 hour. Slice it up! Enjoy!
