Not only is this cake easy to make, it’s also gluten-free, made with only five ingredients, and packed with protein—each piece boasts about 10 grams of the nutrient. The cake ends up with a wonderfully moist and custardy texture. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days.
