Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, I grab my favorite microwave-safe mug and mix the cottage cheese, sugar (or honey), and vanilla extract together. I love the way the cottage cheese transforms as I blend it; it becomes creamy and smooth, perfect for the base of my cake. Next, I gently fold in the almond flour, baking powder, and salt until well-combined, creating a lovely batter. There’s something satisfying about the texture as I mix!
