Preheat oven to 350°F and line an 8x8” baking pan with parchment paper.
In a bowl, whisk flour, whey and whey-casein chocolate protein powders, unsweetened cocoa powder, zero calorie sugar replacement and baking soda.
In a large bowl, whisk together hot water, applesauce, butter and lemon juice.
Add dry mix to wet, and gently fold until just combined.
DO NOT OVER-MIX or protein powder will make the cake dense.
Pour batter into pan, and bake for 20-25 minutes.
Don’t let the batter sit out.
A tester inserted into the center should come out clean but moist, and center of cake springy to touch.
Pudding/Filling:
When cake is still hot, poke hole in cake(using rounded end of wooden spoon) using about 1” apart.
In a bowl, whisk milk, protein powder, cocoa powder and pudding mix.
Pour pudding into holes (fill completely), and let cool completely.
Place in fridge about 4 hours.
Frosting:
In a bowl, combine yogurt, protein powder and cocoa powder.
Spread over base.
Slice into 12 pieces.
