How To Make

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper.

Blend the cottage cheese until smooth. Whisk it with the eggs, melted butter and vanilla in a large bowl.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk the almond flour, coconut flour, brown sugar substitute, baking powder and salt.

Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, then fold in most of the chocolate chips, saving a handful for the top.

Step 5

Spread the batter into the pan and sprinkle with the remaining chocolate chips.

Step 6

Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until golden and a toothpick in the center comes out with moist crumbs but no wet batter.

Step 7

Cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes before slicing. It stays soft and moist for days in an airtight container.

Tips

Blend the Cottage Cheese Completely

You’ll get the best results if you blend the cottage cheese until it looks totally smooth like sour cream. Do not leave any small curds behind in the blender.

From my experience, unblended curds will melt into wet pockets inside the cake instead of creating a uniform, velvety crumb.

Make Sure Your Eggs Are Room Temperature

I recommend pulling your eggs out of the fridge at least thirty minutes before you start. If the eggs are cold, they will cause the melted butter to harden into little clumps as soon as they touch.

Keeping everything at room temperature ensures the wet mixture stays completely smooth and blends evenly with your flours.

Measure the Coconut Flour Carefully

Coconut flour absorbs an enormous amount of moisture compared to other flours. Even one extra spoonful can dry out your entire cake and make it crumbly.

I’ve found that spooning the flour into your measuring spoon and leveling it flat gives the most reliable moisture balance.
