A soft fluffy microwave gingerbread protein cake – the single serving dessert you’ll love this Winter! Using our apple-cinnamon protein porridge as the base for this cake makes it so easy to mix up whilst also providing so much flavour and a hit of protein. You can sweeten it up by mixing in a few drops of stevia (so good with a spray of whipped cream on top) or omit the stevia for a more of a muffin vibe (perfect to have with some stewed apples and yogurt for breakfast).
