Ingredients
– 1/4 cup cottage cheese
– 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
– 1 tablespoon sweetener of your choice (sugar, honey, or a sugar substitute)
– 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/8 teaspoon baking powder
– A pinch of salt
– 1 tablespoon flour (I use whole wheat for a healthier twist)
– 2 tablespoons chocolate chips (or more if you’re feeling generous!)
Equipment Needed
– A microwave-safe mug
– A small mixing bowl
– A spoon for mixing
– A measuring cup and spoons
Step-by-Step Instructions
First things first, grab a microwave-safe mug and add in the cottage cheese. It forms the base of this cake and gives it that lovely moist texture! Next, I like to mix in the cocoa powder, sweetener, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt. Give it a good stir until everything is combined and you have a nice, smooth mixture. It can be a little lumpy at first because of the cottage cheese, but don’t worry; it’s all going to blend together perfectly in the microwave! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
