Main Ingredients
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch of salt
Instructions
- Combine wet ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine cottage cheese, lemon juice, lemon zest, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
- Add dry ingredients: Add the almond flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt to the wet mixture. Stir thoroughly until fully combined and a batter forms.
- Prepare mug: Pour the batter into a microwave-safe mug, filling it about halfway to allow room for the cake to rise during cooking.
- Microwave the cake: Microwave the mug on high power for 1 to 2 minutes. Start checking at 1 minute to ensure the cake sets properly and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Notes
- Microwave cooking times may vary depending on your appliance, so monitor closely to avoid overcooking.
- Serve topped with fresh fruit or a dollop of yogurt to enhance flavor and texture.
