    Ingredient Notes

    Mini Chocolate Cake Ingredients

    What are the benefits of adding protein powder?

    The protein powder used in this recipe is one of the best I've used in baking due to the high quality processing.

    I recommend using a plant-based protein powder over a whey but either will work.

    The protein powder I use is naturally sweetened to give a great chocolate flavor. You only need to add a little bit of sugar to get the perfect amount of sweetness in every bite.

    Making this cake a perfect post workout, energy boosting meal or snack!

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What happens if i add more protein powder than specified?

    You want to use the exact measurements indicated because protein powder has a tendency to dry out cake. By adding the fats such as eggs and milk to this cake recipe retains the perfect amount of moistness!

    What makes a cake moist and fluffy?

    By creaming the fats and sugar together, that will add extra moistness to the cake.

    Can I use baking soda instead of baking powder in this recipe?

    I would not add any baking soda to this recipe or replace the baking powder with baking soda. It will change the final result of the cake

    Baking powder has a more neutral taste as well as containing both a base and acid.

    Can I add chocolate chips or chunks to this recipe?

    Yes of course!! I will never argue with adding some chocolate chips or chunks. This cake recipe is able to hold up to any additional mix-ins.

    How do I store this cake?

      This cake is good! Not too sweet, but chocolatey and satisfying. I made a quick frosting with a touch of maple, cacao powder, cashew butter and sea salt. I love that it's loaded with protein.

      One note - you mention eggs in the post, but there are no eggs in the recipe itself. I guessed and added an egg with the sugar, buttermilk and yogurt.

        Hi Sarah! I'm so sorry about that, I'll update the post now so that it's accurate with the eggs. I'm glad you were able to get it to come out well still! Your homemade frosting sounds DELICIOUS. I like to top the cake with my protein chocolate mousse sometimes when I'm really craving chocolate.

    SWEET & SPICY PIZZA πŸ―πŸŒΆοΈπŸ• Making pizza SWEET & SPICY PIZZA πŸ―πŸŒΆοΈπŸ• 

Making pizza from scratch has never been easier thanks to kingarthurbaking pizza flour! This is the perfect recipe when you’re craving pizza and want to add all your favorite toppings. 

INGREDIENTS 
2 cups (232g) King Arthur β€˜00’ Pizza Flour 
1/8 teaspoon instant yeast or active dry yeast 
1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar 
1 1/4 teaspoons (8g) salt 
3/4 cup (170g) water, lukewarm, (105Β° to 115Β°F) 

DIRECTIONS 
1. To make the dough: Meausure your flour by gently spooning it into a cup, then sweeping off any excess. 
2. In a medium bowl, mix the dry ingredients, then add the water. Stir until just combined, making a rough but cohesive dough. 
3. Cover the bowl and allow the dough to rise at room temperature overnight, for at least 12 hours and up to 24 hours. 
4. Preheat the oven to 500Β°F to 550Β°F (if it goes that high) for at least 30 minutes prior to putting the pizza in. 
5. Time to shape the dough! Divide the dough into two pieces. Stretch and fold it, as follows: holding onto the dough at both ends, pull one end away from the other, then fold it back onto itself. Repeat on the other side. Be sure to keep your hands floured as you work. 
6. Next, pull the ends of the dough towards the middle, then turn it over. 
7. Place both pieces of dough in a floured bowl and cover for 45 minutes to 1 hour to rise. 
8. Next, stretch the dough into a 10” to 12” circle. If the dough is at all sticky, use more flour. 
9. Once you have your shape, add it to a pizza pan and start to add your toppings! 
10. I used classic pizza sauce, pizza seasoning, thin-sliced pepperoni and fresh mozzarella. 
11. Bake for 6-7 minutes or until cheese is melted 
12. Turn the oven to broil for 2-3 minutes. This will get your pizza nice and bubbly and charred. 
13. Remove from the oven. 
14. Add hot honey drizzle on top (optional but encouraged!)
15. Slice and enjoy!
