2/3 cup canned pumpkin puree (100% pumpkin, not pie filling)
03 -
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
04 -
1 cup super-fine blanched almond flour
05 -
4 tablespoons coconut flour
06 -
1 teaspoon baking powder
07 -
1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum
08 -
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
09 -
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
10 -
1/2 cup granulated sweetener (monk fruit, erythritol, or allulose)
11 -
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
→ Cream Cheese Frosting
12 -
12 ounces cream cheese, softened
13 -
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
14 -
1/3 cup powdered sweetener, adjust to taste
15 -
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
16 -
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, or more to taste
# Steps:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides to assist with rolling.
02 -
In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract until completely smooth.
03 -
In a separate large bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, granulated sweetener, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, xanthan gum, and sea salt.
04 -
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and mix until a smooth, slightly thick batter forms. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
05 -
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cake surface is firm to the touch.
06 -
Let the cake cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then carefully roll it, keeping the parchment attached, into a tight log shape. Allow to cool completely.
07 -
In a mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese, butter, powdered sweetener, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice until light and fluffy. Adjust sweetness or spice as preferred. Refrigerate if the consistency is too soft.
08 -
After the cake has cooled, gently unroll it. Evenly spread the cream cheese frosting over the surface, leaving a 1-inch border along the edges.
09 -
Without the parchment, re-roll the cake tightly and transfer to a serving platter. Optionally, dust with cinnamon, sprinkle with crushed pecans, or drizzle with sugar-free caramel sauce before serving.
# Notes:
01 -
Rolling the cake while warm and with parchment prevents cracking and ensures a uniform spiral.
