If you are a dedicated gym goer, or just like to keep fit and looking for quick and easy ways to beat the sweet cravings, this might be the option. I know, you think it’s a cake it’s not good for you.. but, it contains a lot of protein and not much carbs, so can be used as a meal replacement if needed. Or post workout treat 🙂
Anyways, I suggest you to try this moist and chocolatey cake, and promise- you won’t be disappointed. You can top it with more Meridian nut butter ot pop some fresh berries on top to give it a sharp kick.
