Microwave instructions

Oven instructions

• Pour batter in an oven safe dish and bake for 10-12 minutes on 180 degrees celsius for 10-12 minutes, until desired consistency.

* If your protein powder isn't sweetened, add sweetener to taste.

For a more moist and fudgy cake, remove it from the microwave/oven earlier. For a muffin-like cake, you can cook it slightly longer.
