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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
