Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Vegetable oil spray, as needed
2 tablespoons wheat bran
2 1/2 cups almond flour
1 1/2 cups sugar substitute (recommended: Splenda)
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice

Serving Suggestion: homemade sugarless whipped cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
  • Spray the loaf pan heavily with vegetable spray and sprinkle with the wheat bran, shaking the pan to coat on all sides--this will prevent sticking.

PUMPKIN SPICE POUND CAKE



Pumpkin Spice Pound Cake image

This is an easy cake that mixes up in next to no time. Adapted from Lauren Chattman's recipe. I recommend making this recipe in the food processor; the texture does not come out quite right any other way. You can add ground cloves or other spices, or substitute pumpkin pie spice for the spices mentioned.
