This here is my first-ever protein-packed bundt cake! I was worried it would turn out too dry or not dense enough, but I was wrong; it's absolutely divine. Everything from the moist spiced cake and tart cranberries to the rich rum-flavored glaze packs a punch. It's the perfect holiday treat to share with friends and family, because they'll never guess it's low in sugar and high in protein. Seriously, this cake is so delicious it didn't even last a day at our house!
