Description

Indulge in a sweet escape with this delightful 5-Minute Lemon Cottage Cheese Mug Cake.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 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

  1. Start by placing the cottage cheese in a mixing bowl. Add the lemon juice, lemon zest, honey, and vanilla extract. Using a fork or a whisk, blend the mixture until it becomes smooth and creamy.
  2. Next, gently add the almond flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt to the wet mixture. Use your fork or whisk again to stir until all the dry ingredients are fully incorporated and no lumps remain.
  3. Now that your batter is ready, it’s time to transfer it to a microwave-safe mug. Pour the mixture into the mug, being careful not to fill it all the way to the top—leave some space for the cake to rise as it cooks.
  4. Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high for 1 to 2 minutes. Keep a close eye on it, as microwaves vary in power.

Notes

Make sure to check your mug cake regularly while it cooks to prevent overcooking.
