Ingredients
Scale
- 250 g cottage cheese
- 3 large eggs
- 3 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- ½ cup almond flour (or oat flour)
- 1 tsp baking powder
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a round cake pan with a little oil.
- In a blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, honey (or maple syrup), lemon zest, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour and baking powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until everything is well combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until the cake is set and lightly golden. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
