Basil Berry Protein Cake

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C and line a cake tin or cupcake tray with baking liners.
  2. In a stand-up blender or Thermomix, blend the beans, eggs, vanilla, butter and honey until smooth.
  3. Add the coconut flour, bicarb soda, baking powder and salt to the wet mix. Blend well until smooth and free of lumps.
  4. Pour batter into the cake tin or cupcake tray. Best not to let the batter sit, so pop into the oven straight away.
  5. Bake for 20 minutes (a little less for cupcakes). When done, take out of the oven to cool completely.
  6. If desired, cut the cake into layers and fill each layer alternately with the cream, basil and berries.
  7. This is also a great cake to use with Trifle (soaked with your choice of alcohol is optional).
