Servings: 2 9" cake layers

Ingredients

Instructions

For the Cake:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and spray two 9" cake pans with cooking spray (I also lined the bottom of the cake pans with parchment paper circles).
  • In a stand mixer bowl with whisk attachment, add the pumpkin, erythritol, sucanat, egg whites, oil, natural food coloring, stevia extract, butter flavor, and vanilla extract on medium-low speed.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the brown rice flour, oat flour, cocoa, apple pie spice, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.  Add the dry ingredients to the stand mixer.  Scrape down the sides of the bowl, then return to mixing.
  • Add the almond milk, then add the vinegar.  Pour batter into prepared cake pans, tap pans on the counter to level them out, then bake for ~40 minutes, or until surface springs back when touched. Flip cakes onto wire cooling racks and let cool completely before frosting.

For the Frosting:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the protein powder and cocoa.
  • In a large bowl, stir together the almond milk, syrup and stevia. Add the dry ingredients and whisk together.  Frost the cake.  Slice and serve!

Recipe Notes

If you want a less dense cake, you can try reducing the pumpkin by 1 cup and increasing the almond milk by 1 cup.
