- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together all wet ingredients aside from the coffee/hot water until smooth.
- Add in the dry ingredients, making sure to spoon and level the flour, protein powder and cocoa. Do not pack them into your measuring cups!
- Whisk just until the dry ingredients start to blend into the batter, then pour in your brewed coffee or hot water.
- Whisk until smooth. The batter will be on the thicker side.
- Transfer to your prepared pan and bake for 22-28 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. The top may crack slightly as it bakes, this is normal.
- Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.
- While it cools, make the frosting. Beat the butter with an electric mixer for about 2 minutes, then mix in the cocoa powder.
- Add in the powdered sugar, then the vanilla and milk until you get your desired consistency.
- Once the cake is completely cooled, add the frosting, slice and enjoy!
