Step-by-Step Instructions
To begin, gather all your ingredients, and find a large microwave-safe mug because this cake likes to rise! In your mug, combine the cottage cheese, egg, honey (or maple syrup), lemon zest, and vanilla extract. Using a fork or spoon, mix until it’s smooth and the cottage cheese is evenly incorporated. The combination of these ingredients is not just tasty; it smells amazing already! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
