It is Halle Berry’s birthday on August 14th! My recipe for Easy Blender Cake is in honor of my dear friend!

Everyone loves my Easy Chocolate Blender Cake so I thought it was time to make an Easy Vanilla Blender Cake recipe for all of you! If you make this recipe, make sure to tag Halle as well as myself and wish her a Happy Birthday!

HOW TO MAKE EASY VANILLA COLLAGEN BLENDER CAKE

I added Further Food vanilla collagen to my Easy Vanilla Blender Cake for an extra health boost! For the frosting, I also used Further Food Chocolate collagen!

1/3 of the protein in your body is collagen: skin, hair, nails, joints, gut, bones, ligaments.

Collagen doesn’t support muscle but it does support other parts of a healthy body. Especially our gut!

HEALTH BENEFITS OF COLLAGEN:

1. Can help with skin elasticity and aging. This means when losing a lot of weight it can help the skin shrink better, reduce wrinkles and cellulite
2. It can help strengthen hair and reduce hair loss
3. Improves joint health
4. Builds bone strength
5. Contains 18 amino acids that help muscle and ligament repair and recovery
6. Collagen contains glycine that helps with immune system health and helps with digestion

Easy Vanilla Blender Cake

 

• EASY VANILLA BLENDER CAKE:
• 1½ cups Swerve confectioners (or equivalent natural sweetener)
• ½ cup butter, melted (or butter-flavored coconut oil if dairy free)
• 4 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or almond)
• 1¾ cups blanched almond flour
• 1¼ cups Further Food vanilla collagen
• ½ cup coconut flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp Redmond Real Salt
• ¾ cup very hot water
• EASY CHOCOLATE GLAZE OPTION 1:
• ¾ cup powdered Swerve or allulose (or 1 cup if using unsweetened cocoa powder)
• 4 tablespoons Further Food Chocolate Collagen (or unsweetened cocoa powder)
• 4 tablespoons heavy cream (or coconut cream if dairy free)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ⅛ teaspoon Redmond Real salt
• EASY CHOCOLATE FROSTING OPTION 2:
• ¾ cup powdered Swerve or allulose (or 1 cup if using unsweetened cocoa powder)
• ½ cup Further Food chocolate collagen (or unsweetened cocoa powder)
• ½ cup butter, softened (or butter flavored coconut oil if dairy free)
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk (or heavy cream)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ⅛ teaspoon Redmond Real salt

1. Preheat the oven to 350F and grease a 9 inch bundt pan really well with butter.
2. Put the natural sweetened, butter, eggs and vanilla into a blender and pulse until well-blended and smooth. Add the almond flour, collagen, coconut flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Pour the hot water over the top (it will start to bubble as it hits the baking powder and soda) and pulse, scraping down the sides of the blender once or twice, until smooth.
3. Pour into the prepared pan and bake for 45 minutes, or until cracked on top and springy to the touch. Remove from oven and allow to cool for about 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool complete before glazing. TIP: To cool, I suggest placing the bundt pan in an ice bath for 10 minutes. This way, the cake won’t break or crack when removing it from the pan.
4. To make the easy chocolate glaze, place all the ingredients into a medium bowl and stir well to combine. Taste and adjust sweetness to your liking. Drizzle over cooled cake.
5. If making the Easy Chocolate Frosting, place the sweetener, collagen and softened butter into a large bowl. Use a hand mixer and combine until smooth. Slowly add the unsweetened almond milk to thin the frosting. Add the vanilla and salt. Taste and adjust sweetness to your liking.
