Vanilla Pound Cake Recipe [Paleo, Gluten-Free]

This pound cake never ceases to WOW. It’s just so much like real pound cake.

The secret ingredient is a tiny amount of whey protein powder, which is just one of the proteins purified from milk. Most concerns with whey protein powder stem from the fact that many brands are packed with artificial sweeteners, colors, and flavors, so I suggest buying a pure one like this one from Amazon.

3. Mix all the ingredients together well.
