Traditional pound cake gets its name because it contains a pound each of eggs, sugar, butter, and flour. So naturally, I made a healthy one. A quarter pound of each ingredient. Because apparently that's how math works.

Instructions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350F, and line a small glass meal prep container (mine are 6.2" x 4.5") with parchment paper. Lightly spray the paper with oil.
Step 2

Beat your egg in a large bowl. Whisk with the granulated monk fruit. Whisk in the cottage cheese. Mix in the whole wheat flour with a silicone spatula until just fully combined.
Step 3

Transfer your batter to your prepared pan, and smooth out the top.
Step 4

Bake at 350F oven for about 45 minutes (uncovered), or until the top is fully set and golden brown, a toothpick to the center comes out almost clean, and the internal temperature is at least 205F.
Step 5

Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely (about 1 hour) before slicing.
