I was really craving chocolate so I opted for one of my favorite flavor combinations. Chocolate and coconut. I won’t bore you with my rambling on about how good these two flavors are together. But seriously, they are delicious. And when you can make this delicious cake in minutes with the microwave, there really isn’t an excuse not to enjoy these flavors.

I changed it up a little with the way I made this cake. I actually used pea protein instead of the normal whey or casein protein that I typically use. I wouldn’t have been able to try out pea protein if it weren’t for the nice people at Nutrasumma sending me some to sample. They have a huge line of different supplements ranging from different types of protein powders and all kinds of vitamins and minerals.

When cooking with a new protein powder that you have never used, you never know quite exactly how it will turn out. I was really happy with the texture that this pea protein gave the cake. It had the texture of casein protein. It was dense and super moist just like casein is which made it perfect for a microwave cake.

I left my cake pretty gooey in the middle. In my opinion, there is nothing better than the middle of a cake that is super moist and almost brownie batter like in the middle. I topped the cake with a coconut cream Greek yogurt mixture. It sounds fancy, but it is really just natural sweetener, Greek yogurt, and coconut extract.

And you all know that I can get a little carried away with my chocolate sometimes so I drizzled some chocolate brownie coconut butter from Sweet Spreads. All this talking about the cake is starting to make me hungry for another piece!
