High-Protein Birthday Cake Batter Tips & Expert Strategy

TEXTURE NOTE: This should be thick and spoonable like real raw cake batter, not light or watery.
SUBSTITUTION WARNING: Swapping the recommended whey/casein blend for 100% whey powder will pull too much moisture out of the dairy, making the final dessert texture chalky and dry.
BETTER LATER NOTE: Letting the mixture rest in the fridge for 10 minutes allows the protein powder to fully absorb the liquid, removing any graininess completely.
SERVING TIP: Serve chilled directly out of the refrigerator, and top with a few extra crushed graham crackers if you want an extra crunch.
