I used the same cake base as with my blueberry protein muffins, but sweetened this cake with apples. I find that apples and pears work well in protein cakes, as their tastes are mild and they provide a great deal of moisture. (For an easier cake, you can use our Vanilla Bean Protein Cake Mix and just add the gingerbread spices.)
