I know this is a silly question, but don't you just love High Five Friday?
Not only do I love writing the posts every Thursday evening, but I also enjoy all of the positivity on Friday resulting from High Five Friday! Tweets, comments, and other HFF posts are all radiating with the positivity that I only dreamed of HFF creating!
Thank you for making HFF so special! I couldn't do it without you <3
Linz, Kim, and Chelsey all wrote their own HFF posts yesterday, so make sure you check those out, too!

Now for that recipe I promised!
If you forgot, let me remind you.
So pretty and so so delicious. This coconut microwave cake finally turned out just right and I'm so excited to share it with you today! I've been trying to perfect a microwave cake using coconut flour for quite some time now, and, luckily, earlier this week a winner was made!
Lemon Coconut Microwave Cake with Vanilla Protein Glaze
Makes 1 serving
For the cake:
1/4 cup egg whites (2 egg whites)
2 TBSP coconut flour
2 TBSP pumpkin puree
baking powder (I don't measure, so just use a pinch!)
liquid lemon stevia (I used approximately 6 drops)
Mix all of the ingredients together until clumps are gone and batter is smooth. Pour into a greased microwave safe bowl (I spray a microwave safe bowl with olive oil or rub it down with coconut oil). Microwave for approximately 2 – 3 minutes or until cooked.
For the glaze:
1/3 scoop of your favourite vanilla protein powder (I used Promasil White Chocolate whey protein powder)
water
While your cake is cooking, prepare your glaze by mixing the two ingredients. I nevermeasure how much water I used, so go based on the consistency you want to acheive.
This was a light and refreshing snack! I love the flavour of coconut and lemon together!
I better run, though. My family and I are going camping again this weekend! I'm so excited! But, I still have to pack all of my stuff into the camper 
Have a wonderful Saturday, lovies! We will chat tomorrow <3
Love,
Meg

I LOVE THIS RECIPE, i can’t freaking wait to try it. You are surely inspiring for your high five friday and i am glad you do something like this. have a wonderful weekend, well deserved.
Glaze always makes a cake better
Looks great girl!
great recipe lady! i pretty much make a similar one with Peanut Flour or Almond Meal – I wish i could have coconut flour but it makes me bloat like the motherload! loving the addition of lemon!
I’ve been waiting for this recipe! Sounds amazing and I love the addition of lemon stevia! How awesome!
Yummy! I make close to the same thing, but I add carob powder and do reg stevia instead of the lemon!! I’m so trying yours though!!
White chocolate whey protein?? WHat??? I must get this!! I am anxiously awaiting my coconut flour…….!! Must.make.this!!
Mmm this looks so tasty! I’m always looking for ways to use my coconut flour, so this is perfect.
I love coconut with chocolate, so I might have to make this with some cocoa powder and chocolate chips!
what an awesome microwave cake! have you ever tried deb’s high-protein microwave muffin? so good! i’ve been decreasing pumpkin puree and adding coconut oil for the healthy fats! so good!
I can’t wait to try this. A lot of the microwave cake recipes I’ve tried have been super dry. Plus I love lemon and coconut. I may have to invest in some of those stevia drops, I’ve never tried them. Can’t wait to see you!
Ohh, I just posted a protein muffin recipe too using coconut flour:)
Twinies!
I adore your high 5 friday’s. A perfect start to the weekend! I’m working all weekend, so no fun plans over here! Have a fab weekend.
Coconut and chocolate is my way favourite way to go!
And for microwave muffin bakes – my microwave chocolate peanut butter protein muffin makes me happy.

I made something really similar to this with the juice from a whole lemon. It was so moist and amazing, like a lemon poppyseed muffin. Actually I put chia in it trying to make my own version of it
I’ve never heard of using protein powder to make a glaze before. That’s such a cool idea! Do you really like the taste of that one? I’ve been looking for a new good vanilla-y one.
I just bought coconut flour but haven’t made anything with it yet! I’ll have to try this out….I don’t have lemon stevia but maybe vanilla will do?
I didn’t know this recipe was going to have lemon in it! You have no idea how excited I just got. I don’t have lemon stevia (I need to get some asap) but I’m definitely going to try making a version with regular stevia + fresh lemon juice.
Lemon and coconut is always a winning combination. (:
Thursday and Friday were kind of rough for me but thankfully today was amazing and it definitely made up for it! I hope your weekend is going well, love! <3
that cake looks delightful
I really should go pick up some protein powder…
That looks soo good!!! Have fun camping!!
I just made a version of this, and it was sooo good! Finally a good microwave cake!
what could I substitute for pumpkin puree? I’m fresh out!:(
apple sauce or any fruit puree!?
