Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line an 8×8 metal pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Mix the dry ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, oat fiber, whey protein, allulose, baking powder, and a pinch of salt until totally uniform.
- Prepare the wet mixture: In another bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, Greek yogurt, almond milk, melted butter, banana extract, vanilla powder, and cinnamon.
- Combine: Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until smooth and thick.
- Whip the egg whites: In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites until soft peaks form.
- Incorporate: Carefully fold the whipped egg whites into the batter in two additions.
- Bake: Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan and bake for 26–30 minutes.
- Cool: Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before frosting.
- Prepare the frosting: Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and gradually fold in the strained Greek yogurt, allulose, vanilla powder, banana extract, and a pinch of salt.
- Frost the cake: Once the cake is cool, spread the frosting evenly over the top and chill for about an hour.
- Slice and serve: Cut into 12 generous squares.
Notes
Ensure to whip the egg whites until soft peaks form for the best texture. Letting the cake cool completely before frosting is crucial.
