A couple of notes:

Also the baking time may differ depending on thickness. It turns out quite moist!

The method mentions honey but it is not included in the ingredient list. How much should I use? Looks very yum.
Hey Bronwyn, same amount as the optional rice malt. I’ve just amended the post… Cheers, Guy
I made this carrot cake last night. I have been searching for a breakfast friendly recipe, something small I can take to work as I don’t have a huge appetite in the morning.
I have tried various muffin, slice and cake recipes and stumbled upon the 180 protein powder in my quest to find a tasty protein powder which didn’t make my food taste like artificial vanilla!
I used the 180 chocolate powder, honey and vanilla in my version of this cake and it is super tasty. I am really happy to have found something that can do double duty for breakfast or snacks and has no bad ingredients in it.
No worries 🙂 Glad you are enjoying the 180 Superfood experience! It’s worth trying the 180 protein balls too… Divine! Thanks for sharing, Guy
Looks great I have a quick question about the recipe, it mentions adding more coconut flour if the mixture is too wet but doesn’t mention coconut flour as an ingredient. Do you mean add more shredded coconut or more protein powder? or does it not really make a difference to the end result?
Look forward to giving it a go.
Hey Rhian, I’m not the best baker in the world & eyeball everything 😉 Coconut flour or 180 Protein would work if it’s to wet. I thing it would work better than the shredded coconut to take out the moisture … Hope that helps, Guy
