Easy Vanilla Blender Cake
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.
HEALTH BENEFITS OF COLLAGEN:
- 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
- It can help strengthen hair and reduce hair loss
- Improves joint health
- Builds bone strength
- Contains 18 amino acids that help muscle and ligament repair and recovery
- Collagen contains glycine that helps with immune system health and helps with digestion

Easy Vanilla Blender Cake
Ingredients
EASY VANILLA BLENDER CAKE:
- 1½ cups Natural Sweetener or equivalent natural sweetener
- ½ cup salted butter melted (or butter-flavored coconut oil if dairy free)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or almond
- 1 3/4 cups almond flour
- 1 1/4 cups Further Food Vanilla Collagen
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon Redmond Real Salt
- 3/4 cup very hot water
EASY CHOCOLATE GLAZE OPTION 1:
- 3/4 cup Natural Sweetener 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
- 1/8 teaspoon Redmond Real salt
EASY CHOCOLATE FROSTING OPTION 2:
- 3/4 cup Natural Sweetener or 1 cup if using unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup Further Food Chocolate Collagen or unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup salted butter softened (or butter flavored coconut oil if dairy free)
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk or heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon Redmond Real salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F and grease a 9 inch bundt pan really well with butter.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

Is it possible to use gelatin for part of the collagen? That amount will wipe out my canister of collagen.
I wouldn’t do that with this recipe.
Hello! As someone with severe nut allergies, I’m not able to have almond or coconut flour. Do you have reliable substitution ratios for different flours? I know different flours would be different measurements for good results and which flours would perform best?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
You could try one of my flourless cakes: https://mariamindbodyhealth.com/?s=flourless+cake
Hi Maria. Thank you for this recipe!!! I just wondered if the picture is the frosting or the glaze. I’m guessing the frosting because it looks thick, but I want to make what you have shown. 🙂
It’s frosting 🙂
I made this today, it was so good! It was a hit for the entire family at the pool party. Nobody even knew it was low carb.
That warms my heart ❤️
Sorry to bother but just wondering if we can use a substitute for the collagen powder. I can’t use gelatin or collagen products.
You can try leaving it out and adding extra vanilla extract for flavor, but I’m not quite sure how it will turn out 🙂
Hi Maria – Thanks for this recipe xx Just about to make it, was wondering if I could just add more Almondmeal/flour as I’m out of coconut flour…
You could do that, but it would take some tweaking of the entire recipe as coconut flour reacts very differently than almond flour so they are not a cup to cup conversion: https://mariamindbodyhealth.com/baking-coconut-flour/
Thanks so much – just made it now (after ordering more coconut flour), absolute beautiful, now I’m wondering what if I used the further foods chocolate collagen powder how would that taste,….. Anyhow Thank you very much for all you do for people! xx
Awesomeness! It would turn out like a rich, decadent chocolate cake 🙂
Hi Maria.
Could you please confirm the amount of water? 3/4 cup for the total recipe? I did today half recipe and never got smooth. I added for the half recipe 1 cup of water.
Please help!!
Yes, it is 3/4 cup. But you can add more to make the batter a little thinner if needed 🙂
Hi Maria, wondering if I can make this cake chocolate-thank you, I appreciate you more you know.
Yes!! Just swap the vanilla collagen for chocolate collagen 🙂
Hello!’ I’m currently out of collagen, could I replace it with cocoa powder for a chocolate cake?
If you do not have collagen follow this recipe: https://mariamindbodyhealth.com/easy-blender-cake/
Hi Maria!
I was wondering if I could replace the almond and coconut flours for Equip protein powder to make the cake?
Equip Prime Protein reacts VERY differently than flour. I do not think that will work 🙏
