Ingredients

Scale

1/2 cup cottage cheese

1/4 cup all-purpose flour (or almond flour for gluten-free)

1/2 tsp baking powder

Sweetener to taste (sugar, honey, or stevia)

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1 tbsp cocoa powder (optional)

2 tbsp milk (any kind)


Instructions

  1. Gather your ingredients to ensure a seamless cooking experience.
  2. In a microwave-safe mug, combine the cottage cheese and your choice of sweetener. Mash the cottage cheese for a smoother batter.
  3. Add all-purpose flour, baking powder, vanilla extract, cocoa powder (if using), and milk. Stir until mixed without lumps.
  4. Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for 1-2 minutes, monitoring closely to avoid overflowing.
  5. Let the cake cool for a minute and enjoy directly from the mug or transfer to a plate.

Notes

For a dairy-free option, substitute cottage cheese with silken tofu and use plant-based milk.
