Viral Vanilla Dot Cake

The viral dot cake trend has been all over your feed lately: pastel icing, a scatter of sprinkles on top, the whole thing looking more like party decor than a dessert you'd actually bake. @nourishfulsabrina put her own spin on it, keeping all the same fun but turning it into a version with 34g of protein and 360 calories a serve. There's nothing wrong with the original when that's what you're craving. This is just the version for when you want that same dot cake energy a little more often, with a little more protein behind it.

The protein doing the work here is Nu Harvest Vanilla Thrive Protein, made with an organic pea and rice protein blend. Protein is an essential macronutrient, your body needs it to function properly. It helps build muscle, repairs muscle tissue, and plays a part in creating the enzymes and hormones that keep everything ticking along behind the scenes.

Trained today or not, it works either way. It's also a proper option for plant-based eaters who've had to give whey a miss, and for coeliacs or anyone managing a gluten sensitivity, a protein you don't need to double check the label on.

Breakfast, afternoon pick-me-up, or the "I want something sweet but I also want to feel good about it" moment: this dot cake covers all of it. Let's get into it.

HERE'S WHAT YOU WILL NEED

HERE'S HOW TO MAKE IT

1. Preheat oven to 180°C.
