- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ⅓ cup organic all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp baking powder

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly coat an 8×8-inch baking pan with nonstick spray.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the blended cottage cheese, eggs, coconut sugar, and vanilla. Mix until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt.
