Olive Oil Honey Cake with Zen Basil Seeds

Ingredients:

• 4 large eggs

Adds structure and binds the cake while providing protein and choline for brain and liver health.

• 6 cups Biohack Protein

• 1-2 tbsp lemon zest + juice of 1 small lemon

Adds a bright flavor, vitamin C, and antioxidants that help reduce oxidative stress and support immunity.

• 2/3 cup extra virgin olive oil

Provides anti-inflammatory monounsaturated fats and antioxidants like polyphenols for heart health and skin benefits.

• 1 tbsp pure vanilla extract

Boosts flavor with trace antioxidants and aromatic depth.

• 1/2 cup raw honey

A natural sweetener that supports antimicrobial and antioxidant benefits while being gentler on blood sugar than refined sugar.

• 2 cups almond flour

High in healthy fats, vitamin E, and magnesium, almond flour is gluten-free, anti-inflammatory, and low-carb, making it an excellent base for this cake.

• 1 tbsp baking powder + 1 tsp baking soda

Ensures the cake rises and achieves a light texture.

• 1/2 tsp sea salt

Enhances flavor and provides trace minerals.

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your baking dish or line it with parchment paper. You can use one large dish or divide the batter into three smaller cake dishes for portion control.

2. Mix wet ingredients.

• In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, olive oil, honey, lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla, and Biohack protein.

3. Combine dry ingredients.

• In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

4. Incorporate wet and dry ingredients.

• Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until well combined. Be careful not to overmix.

5. Bake.

• Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish or divide into smaller dishes.

• For three small cakes, bake for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

• For a single large cake, bake for 30–40 minutes.

• Let the cake cool for 10–15 minutes before slicing and serving.

This cake offers a satisfying, nutrient-packed treat without inflammatory ingredients like oats, white flour or refined sugar! Perfect for dessert or as a healthy snack.
