How To Make Nutritious & Delicious High Protein, Nutrient Cakes

Cake: Make the World’s Most Super-Nutritious & Delicious High-Protein, Nutrient-Dense Cakes! (Not only is Cake made with our mixes nutrient-dense, it’s also just plain dense. There’s nothing light or fluffy about them. They are a meal!)

“Let them eat cake.”

Marie Antoinette’s naive statement regarding what the peasants should eat would not have been taken the way it was if they had had Superfood High-Protein Cake.

Making Superfood Cakes is very similar to making Superfood Bread.

  • Use whatever size & shape cake pan you’d like your final product to be and mix up enough to fill it appropriately. The baking time will be quite a bit longer than for a bar, bite, brownie or cookie due to the increased thickness. We recommend using smaller cake pans for best results due to the high density;
  • Be sure to use butter, oil, or cooking spray on the pan surfaces to keep it from sticking
  • When making cake in a cake pan you really have to bake it, dehydration won’t work well due to the sides of the bake pan which interfere with air flow
  • If you do want to dehydrate rather than bake, you’ll need to place the batter in a flattened mound (in case you want to make a multi-layer cake);
  • If dehydrating, we recommend 118 degrees. It will take 4-6 hours or more depending on how large the mound is and how moist or dry you’d like the cake to be
  • If baking, we recommend approx. 300 degrees (lower will work as well and we do prefer it when time isn’t a concern. If you’d prefer a lower baking temperature, simply increase the baking time to suit the texture you’d like your finished product to be)
  • Once finished dehydrating or baking, simply allow it to cool for at least 20 minutes
  • Layer it if that’s what you’d like to do and slice it as you would any cake
  • Of course you can add frosting as with any other cake (obviously look for some healthy frosting recipes as appropriate for the flavor of cake you’re making)
  • Wrap the cake, or place it in Zip-Lock bag or seal-tight Tupperware style containers for future consumption
  • Refrigeration will help to keep the cake edible for about a week and a half whereas freezing will keep it fresh and edible for many months (although you’ll likely eat it long before that)
