Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup sweetener (such as erythritol or a sugar substitute)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure an even baking environment.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the flour and sweetener thoroughly to distribute the sweetener evenly.
  3. Add Pumpkin Puree: Stir in the pumpkin puree until the batter is smooth and uniform without any lumps.
  4. Prepare Baking Pan: Lightly grease or line a small baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  5. Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake in the preheated oven for approximately 20-25 minutes until the cake is light, moist, and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool before slicing and serving to achieve the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • You can use alternative flours like whole wheat or a gluten-free blend if preferred, but baking times may vary.
  • Adjust the amount or type of sweetener based on dietary needs and sweetness preference.
  • For extra flavor, add cinnamon, nutmeg, or vanilla extract to the batter.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
