Best protein Cake I have ever tasted

Came across this when I was surfing the net. I tried it and it is actually edible.

Protean Egg Custard

4 Eggs whites, beaten
1 Egg yoke
2/3 cup sweetener
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg or cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 Servings of protein powder
2 cups scalded (Warm) milk


1. Combine whisked eggs, sugar, nutmeg or cinnamon, vanilla, and salt.
2. Add scalded milk a little at a time while whisking, so as not to cook the eggs.
3. whisked in protein powder a little at a time
4. When all is blended, pour through a siv into a oiled 1inch deep tray.
5. Bake at 300 for about 30 minutes or until a knife inserted into centre comes out clean.

Sounds good...

What does "scolded" mean?

doesn't cooking the protein destroy it's structure?

It's "scalded," means heated ;)

I have heard that...but I never did figure out if that is just the protein from animals ie) meat

All proteins are denatured by heat, & most of the time the change is insignificant 'cause it's so minimal. Think about it, all you're doing is rearranging the physical/chemical structure of the protein, which is not always a bad thing anyway (with eggs, for example, the protein becomes a lil' better for you due to it's biotin content becoming more available for absorption.)
You should still try not to heat whey protein for too long or at a high heat though (it's structure is best left untouched unlike the eggs)...but it doesn't just become useless once heated. As long as you add it in at the end of the cooking cycle whenever possible, and use low temp. cooking (microwaving / low heat baking) instead of high heat (frying), you should be ok.
