1/2 cup of linseed
1 egg
1 teaspoon of baking powder
Salt/Artificial Sweetener
2 tablespoons of butter
Soften the butter in the microwave. Add the egg, the baking powder, the salt or artificial sweetener and stir until combined. In a food processor, grind the linseed until it looks like a powder. Add to your mixture and heat in the microwave for 1 minute or until done. If you insert a toothpick it should come out clean.
You can add cocoa powder or vanilla extract if you decided making it sweet.
This is a great recipe I tried today and i fell in love with it. Its very quick and easy and still delicious. Don't worry about eating or not the linseed, it has got no carbs and really gives a lot of texture to the cake. This cake can be a little bit dry, so I tried it with some heavy cream on top and it was very delicious.

"Yogurt"
1/2 cup of water
1/2 cup of heavy cream*
1 teaspoon of unflavored gelatin
Combine the unflavored gelatin and the water and let sit for 5 minutes. Microwave on high for 1 1/2 minutes. Add the heavy cream and stir until combined. Let it cool in the fridge until set. You will notice once its done that some lumps have formed. I put mine on the blender for some seconds and after that the lumps disappeared.
*: You can substitute half of the heavy cream with cream cheese for a more creamy yogurt.
This recipe worked out really good for me. It tastes like a milk pudding with a yogurt-gelatin like consistency. You can add vanilla extract and artificial sweetener if you want, but i decided to make mine plain, in order to use it in many different recipes.
