Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (smooth or ricotta for a creamier texture)
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 4 large eggs
  • ¼ cup sweetener of your choice (honey, maple syrup, or a sugar substitute)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese, cocoa powder, eggs, and sweetener. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  3. Grease an 8-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
  4. Transfer the batter into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top as needed.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the cake has set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Slice and enjoy! You can serve it plain or with your favorite toppings.

Notes

For a smoother texture, use ricotta cheese instead of cottage cheese. You can also customize the flavor by adding vanilla extract or mix-ins like nuts or chocolate chips.
