Preheat oven to 350°F and line an 8x8” square baking pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk flour, vanilla and unflavored protein powder, coconut flour and baking soda.
In another bowl, whisk together hot water, applesauce, butter and lemon juice.
Add wet mix to dry, and gently whisk until just combined.
DO NOT OVER-MIX or protein powder will make the cake dense.
Pour batter into pan, and bake for 22-25 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.
Milk Mixture:
In a bowl whisk almond milk and protein powder to make protein‘condensed milk’.
Add evaporated milk and yogurt and whisk again.
Assemble:
Once cake has cooled, poke holes in cake using fork.
Pour milk mixture into holes (fill completely), and place in fridge about 1-2 hours.
Frosting/Topping:
Spread whipped topping on top; Slice into 9 pieces.
