  • ½ Cup Coconut Flour
  • 2 Scoops Protein Powder
  • 4 Tablespoons Cocoa Powder
  • 3 Tablespoons Butter Melted

Instructions

  • Melt your Butter and add all of your ingredients for the cakes into a large bowl

  • Bake them on 350F/176C for 20-25 minutes
  • Mix all of your frosting ingredients together
  • Once your cakes cool top them with your frosting
  • Cut a bunch of Strawberries on both sides so that they are flat and place them onto your cakes with the large side down
  • Add a little frosting onto the top of each Strawberry (this acts like glue)
