I love nothing more than making eye-catching holiday desserts. Ones that trick the eye into thinking it’s an unhealthy, high carb treat. I am pretty sure this peppermint bundt cake fits that description nicely. It got rave reviews from the kids and from my husband’s work out buddies And it can be made completely dairy-free too, just skip the white chocolate drizzle.
Preheat oven to 325F and grease a large bundt pan very well.
In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, sweetener, cocoa powder, coconut flour, protein powder, baking powder, and salt. Whisk in eggs, almond milk, coconut oil, and peppermint extract until well combined.
Transfer batter to prepared baking pan and smooth the top. Bake 50 to 60 minutes, until cake is firm to the touch. Remove and let cool 15 minutes, then flip out onto a serving platter to cool completely.
Chocolate Drizzle:
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the chopped chocolate and coconut oil. Stir until melted and smooth. Stir in peppermint extract and drizzle over cake.
White Chocolate Drizzle (do not add this if you need to be dairy-free)
In a microwave safe bowl, combine white chocolate and coconut oil. Heat on high in 30 second increments, stirring in between, until smooth. Drizzle over cake.

Good morning. I do not like coconut. I use oat fiber. Have you played with it? I think I will use it in this. Can not wait to try.

What did you use for the sugar-free white chocolate?

I’m wondering the same basic thing: either, where do you get your egg white protein powder (I’m in Denver and, short of going to the evil WF store, I can’t find it in-store) or could I just substitute a more readily available protein powder?

Did you ever try this with the extra protein powder? I’m looking for a substitute for the egg white protein powder as well.
Can vanilla whey protein powder be subbed for the egg white protein powder?
