The Cake Batter Strategy
The key to this recipe is using both cake batter protein powder and cake batter extract.
The protein powder gives the dip body and sweetness, while the extract makes the flavor taste more like birthday cake. Greek yogurt adds the creamy base and keeps the dip thick enough to scoop.
If the dip gets too thick, add a tiny splash of milk. If you want it thicker, chill it for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.

Troubleshooting & FAQ
Why is my Dunkaroo dip grainy?
The protein powder may need more time to absorb into the yogurt. Let the dip sit for 5 minutes, then stir again. A small splash of milk can also help smooth it out.
Why is my dip too thick?
Some protein powders thicken more than others. Add milk 1 teaspoon at a time until the dip reaches the texture you want.
Why is my dip too runny?
Use a thick Greek yogurt and avoid adding too much milk. You can also add a little more protein powder or 1 tablespoon of sugar-free pudding mix to thicken it.
Can I make this without cake batter protein powder?
Yes. Use vanilla protein powder and add extra cake batter extract. The flavor may be slightly less birthday-cake-like, but it still works.
Can I meal prep this?
Yes. Store it in an airtight container in the fridge. It will thicken as it sits, so stir before eating and add a tiny splash of milk if needed.
What should I dip in it?
Graham crackers, animal crackers, strawberries, apple slices, pretzels, vanilla wafers, or protein cookies all work.
