Method
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 160°C. Grease two 6” cake tins and line the bottom of them with greaseproof paper
In a large bowl add the eggs, oil, orange essence and sugar together and beat well
Next, add the Carb Killa® Fudge Brownie Shake and beat again
Sieve the flour, baking powder, cocoa powder, ground almonds and Hydra 6® Protein Powder into the mixture and stir in well (don’t beat)
Divide the mixture into the two tins (roughly 400g in each tin)
Tap the tins to even out the mixture
Place into the middle of the oven for 35 minutes
Allow to cool for ten minutes
Remove cakes from the tins, place on a cooling rack and allow to cool before frosting
Making The Frosting
Add the double light cream to a large mixing bowl and whisk (with hand held whisk) until thick
Sieve the cocoa powder and Hydra 6 Protein Powder into the bowl, adding in the orange essence
Whisk the frosting really well again and then place in the fride for 10 minutes to thicken
Decorating The Cake
Level off the sponges
Spoon a third of the frosting mixture on top of a cake round, sandwich the two sponges
Cover the rest of the cake with a crumb layer (first layer) and pop into the fridge for 5 mins
Next, cover again with a second coating of frosting (you should have enough for two layers, don’t worry if you don’t)
Lastly, decorate with your favourite Grenade® Carb Killa® Bar to decorate
