Protein Coconut Cake

Fluffy cake topped with melted chocolate and white shredded coconut for Protein Coconut Cake

How do you make a protein coconut and egg white cake?

Beat the egg whites with sugar until stiff peaks form and fold in the shredded coconut with gentle movements. Add sifted flour and baking powder, mixing carefully so the volume does not deflate. Pour the batter into a greased pan and bake at 180°C for 30–40 minutes. Once cold, decorate with melted chocolate.

I love this recipe because it allows us to use up the egg whites left over from other preparations. It is incredibly easy to make, requires few ingredients, and is wonderfully indulgent. The most important thing is to let the cake cool completely before enjoying it.
