These low carb and Keto pumpkin mini bundt cakes just feel like Fall.
Well, it’s October now, and the pumpkin recipes are coming on fast and furious.
So I thought I’d try something new today and make a low carb pumpkin bundt cake. Bundt cakes have always kind of spooked me though. I’ve been scared to death that the cakes wouldn’t release from the pan properly. It sounds silly, but bundt cake anxiety is very real!
But I needn’t have worried.
I made a batch of mini bundt cakes this morning and they all came out of the pan beautifully. And all I used was a little shortening to grease the pan. Phew!
These pumpkin mini bundt cakes are super delicious.
I based the recipe on a great Keto Pumpkin Cream Cheese Pound Cake that I found on Fit to Serve Group. It’s a moist and tasty pumpkin treat with just 5g net carbs per mini bundt cake. Not too bad for a lovely little pumpkin cake.
So just take a deep breath, and trust in the cake releasing power of shortening.

Ingredients
Bundt Cakes:
Spectrum or equivalent vegetable shortening
1 1/2 cup super fine almond flour*
1 1/2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon gingerbread or pumpkin pie spice mix
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter, softened
4 oz cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup Swerve or equivalent granulated sweetener
1/4 cup Swerve Brown or equivalent brown sugar substitute
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree
3 large eggs
Icing:
1/2 cup Confectioner’s Swerve or equivalent powdered sweetener
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and generously grease the wells of a mini bundt cake pan. Make sure to get shortening into all the cracks.
2. In a medium sized bowl, sift together almond flour, cinnamon, spice mix, baking powder and salt.
3. In a large bowl, mix together butter, both sweeteners and cream cheese with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, 2-3 minutes.
4. Quickly mix in pumpkin.
5. Mix in eggs, one at a time, alternating with dry ingredients until everything is fully combined.
6. Pour batter into the wells of the mini bundt cake pan. The batter will rise so leave some room at the top of the wells.
7. Bake for 20-25 minutes until a toothpick in the middle comes out clean.
8. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
9. Take a cooling rack and place it on top of the mini bundt cake pan. Hold the two together and flip them over to release the cakes from the pan.
10. Allow to cool for another 30 minutes before icing.
11. Mix together icing ingredients until smooth. Drizzle icing on top of the mini bundt cakes.
Notes
To make a full sized 10 inch bundt cake, double the recipe and bake for 45-60 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
*If you take these cakes to a party, make sure to clearly mark that they contain nuts. Most people don’t expect a cake to use almond flour, so people with nut allergies might inadvertently eat them.

So I made this using fresh roasted pumpkin and freshly grated ginger (instead of ground). It is super moist. Only suggestion I would make is to cut cinnamon in half or a third. It overpowers all the other flavors.

Oh no! It goes in with the butter and cream cheese. Sorry, I just spaced on that one. Thank you so much for letting me know.

Has all my ingredients together and then I start adding stuff where it goes but there is nothing that tells you when to add the brown sugar or the granulated sugar that I just spent a fortune on the swerve or do I just add the stuff that’s not listed in the directions into the dry flour mixture

I doubled the recipe and made a whole bundt cake and it was delicious. No problems unmolding it either. LOL
