🍰 Instructions
- Preheat & Prep
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Lightly spray a Bundt cake pan with non-stick cooking spray, making sure to get all the curves so the cake releases easily.
- Mix Wet Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together:- Pumpkin purée
- Eggs
- Applesauce
- Vanilla extract
- Sweetener
- Add Dry Ingredients
In another bowl, combine:- Self-rising flour
- Baking soda
- Spices
- Salt
- Optional Add-ins
If using chocolate chips or nuts, fold them in gently at this stage for little bursts of flavor in each bite. ✨
- Pour & Bake
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared Bundt pan. Tap the pan gently on the counter to release any air bubbles.
Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean and the cake springs back when touched.
- Cool Completely
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes. Then carefully flip onto a cooling rack.
Allow it to cool fully before slicing — this helps the structure set and keeps slices neat.
🌟 Optional Toppings (Low-Point)
- Light dusting of powdered sugar substitute (0 points)
- Drizzle with sugar-free maple syrup or a simple icing made with sweetener + almond milk (1 point max).
- Top with fat-free whipped cream for extra flair — still keeps it low in points!
