All the best flavors of fall in this delicious low carb Pumpkin Spice Bundt Cake with a sugar-free caramel glaze. Grain-free and keto friendly.
Wait! Stop what you are doing immediately. Drop everything and pay attention. This is big. This is huge. This is momentous! Do you know what this is? Do you realize the importance of this moment? Are you ready? Are you sure you’re ready? Are you sure you’re sure? Because this, my friends, THIS is the first new pumpkin recipe of season! Phew! Can you believe it? Aren’t you dancing with excitement? Doesn’t this just make you giddy all over?
No? Wait…what? Did you just say no? Oh man, I am totally crushed. I was expecting to hear shouts of joy across the land. I was expecting drum rolls and fireworks. I was expecting you all to bow down before me as the goddess of low carb pumpkin recipes. Alas, I may have built this up a little too much in my mind. I have a habit of that.
I jest, of course. But I do love pumpkin season and I get pretty excited about it. And I know many of you do as well. I try not to jump in too early but once September rolls around, all pumpkin recipes are fair game. I try to hold off until at least after Labour Day but sometimes I can’t make it that long. I think I might have opened my first can this year on September 1st exactly. I think that’s fair, right?
Now go open your first (or third, or eighth, or whatever) can of pumpkin and make this gorgeous cake. It’s awesomely delicious!
Pumpkin Caramel Bundt Cake
Ingredients
Cake:
- 2 cups almond flour
- ½ cup coconut flour
- ⅔ cup Swerve sweetener
- ⅓ cup unflavored whey protein powder
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ginger
- ¼ teaspoon cloves
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 4 large eggs
- ¼ cup melted butter
- ½ to ⅔ cup water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Glaze:
- ¼ cup butter
- 1 teaspoon molasses or Yacon syrup for color and flavor
- ½ cup powdered Swerve sweetener
- ½ teaspoon caramel flavour
- 2 tablespoon whipping cream
Instructions
Cake:
- Preheat oven to 325F and grease a 9-inch bundt pan very well.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, sweetener, protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, ginger, and cloves.
- Stir in the pumpkin puree, eggs, butter, ½ cup water, and vanilla extract. If your puree is very thin, you probably won’t have to add more water. If it is thicker, add enough water to make the batter spreadable (it should not be so thin as to be pourable).
- Transfer batter to prepared bundt pan and bake 55 to 60 minutes, or until cake is set and a tester inserted in center comes out clean. Remove and let cool 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Glaze:
- In a small saucepan over low heat, melt butter with molasses or yacon syrup, stirring until smooth.
- Remove from heat and stir in powdered sweetener, caramel extract and whipping cream. Drizzle over cooled cake.

Cheryl says
My granddaughter and I made this together. As much as I greased the pan, it stuck coming out and broke in half. We ended up making a trifle with it using your pumpkin cream pie filling and caramel sauce recipes. Delish!
Leah says
Could I simply leave out the protein powder?
Carolyn says
No, the cake will be much more dense and not nearly as good.
Jamene says
What’s the best way to store the cake? Is roomtemp ok?
Carolyn says
For 3 to 4 days, yes.
Cathy says
I really want to try this. I made an almond flour cake one other time and it was a disaster, but I didn’t have time for it to cool, so maybe that was the problem. I have everything to make this except caramel flavor and no where to buy it here. Amazon is out as it takes weeks to arrive in the Caribbean, so is there a substitute for that? Or can I make it?
Carolyn says
Just do vanilla!
Laura says
I made the cake but it’s taking way longer to cook. I added extra water but I don’t know if that’s why or not. The recipe said we could..but it’s just really squishy.
Carolyn says
The recipe specified adding water only to the point of making a batter that was spreadable but not pourable. If you added too much, then yes, that could be the problem. Could be your oven, too, though.
Kim says
it’s just the two of us. a big bunt cake is to big I have a 6 cup bunt pan if I make the whole recipe can I use the excess for muffins?
Carolyn says
Absolutely!
VICKY DAVIS says
What can I substitute for the whey protein powder?
Carolyn says
Egg white protein powder works.
