Cake Ingredients:

1/4 cup coconut flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp allspice
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup egg whites
1 cup water or milk of choice (I used almond)
Frosting Ingredients:
3 TBS cream cheese (I used Kite Hill dairy free cream cheese)
1 TBS vanilla protein powder (I use Organifi, use code RUTHANNE for 15% off)
1 -2 TBS water or milk of choice (I used almond)
1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350° and line an 8-inch cake pan with parchment paper (or spray with cooking spray). Set aside.
While the oven preheats, whisk together all of your cake ingredients in a large bowl until the batter is smooth.
Pour your cake batter into your prepared cake pan and bake at 350° for 35 minutes.
While your cake is baking, prepare your icing by mixing together all of your icing ingredients in a small dish. Start with 1 TBS of water/milk and add more until you reach a consistency you like.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely before removing from the pan and icing.
Once iced, slice into 8 slices and serve.
Store the cake in the fridge for 3-5 days!
Recipe Notes:
To make the recipe easier, you can use 3/4 tsp gingerbread spice and omit the nutmeg, ginger and allspice.
I use Organifi organic plant based protein powder in my recipes, use code RUTHANNE for 15% off.
