1 tsp baking powder

1 egg

¼ tsp salt

¼ cup olive oil

Method

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C.

2. In an oven-safe baking dish, combine the oat flour, almond meal, True Vanilla protein powder, baking powder, and salt.

3. Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients. Add the olive oil, Greek yogurt, almond milk, the whole orange and maple syrup, and stir well until just combined.

4. Add the poppyseeds and stir again.

5. Spread the batter evenly in the baking dish and place in the oven for 24-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow to cool.

6. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the yoghurt, maple syrup and orange zest and stir until well combined.

7. Once the cake has cooled completely, spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the top and finish with some grated orange zest. Divide into four portions and enjoy!
