Preheat oven to 350°F and line an 8” x 8” brownie pan or baking dish with parchment paper.
In a bowl, whisk cocoa powder, whey and whey-caesin chocolate protein powder, zero calorie sugar replacement, coconut flour and baking soda.
In a large bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, almond milk, tahini, egg and vanilla.
Add dry mix to wet, and gently fold until just combined.
DO NOT OVER-MIX or protein powder will make the cake dense.
Batter should be thick and pourable.
Transfer batter into pan, smoothen with a spatula or back of spoon.
Bake for 22-25 minutes or until the top is set. Toothpick inserted into the center should come out dry.
Remove from oven and let cool completely.
Frosting:
In a large bowl, combine Greek yogurt, chocolate protein powder and cocoa powder.
Add water, little at a time, and stir with a spoon until uniform.
Spread over cooled cake and slice.
