Protein sponge cake with oatmeal
For those who have doubts about substituting ingredients, you can use oatmeal only (instead of mixing with almond). We use the mixture to make it more moist and delicious in flavor.
As for the grated carrot, if you are not a lover of carrot cake, you can use sweet potato or cooked pumpkin. Neither provides too much flavor, and they have very few calories. If you prefer to do it with fruit, you can choose a roasted apple or ripe banana.
Lastly, yogurt will be the key to increasing protein content. If you can't find any yogurt that is high in protein (and without sugar!) You can go for a Greek. It will look great with your protein cake!
