This keto pumpkin cake is made with layers of chaffles and sweet cream cheese frosting! It's the easiest way to make a pumpkin cake! We cut this cake into quarters and each quarter contains 3 net carbs.
Plug in waffle maker to preheat. Spray with non-stick spray.
Add the eggs, pumpkin puree, sweetener, pumpkin pie spice, coconut flour, and vanilla to a small bowl and whisk well to combine.
2 large eggs, ¼ cup pumpkin puree, 2 tablespoons brown sugar substitute, 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice, 2 teaspoons coconut flour, ½ teaspoon vanilla
Stir in the cheese.
1 cup finely shredded mozzarella cheese
Spoon 1/4 of the batter into the hot waffle iron and smooth the batter out to the edges of the waffle iron.
Close the iron and cook for 3 minutes.
Remove the waffle and set aside. Repeat with remaining batter.
Allow chaffles to cool before frosting.
To make the frosting, beat together the cream cheese and butter with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Beat in the powdered sweetener and vanilla until well combined.
4 ounces cream cheese, ¼ cup butter, ½ cup powdered sweetener, 1 teaspoon vanilla
Spread the frosting over the top of one chaffle and top with another chaffle. Repeat the layers ending with a layer of frosting.
Sprinkle with chopped pecans to decorate.
¼ cup chopped pecans
Notes
We prefer to use finely shredded cheese in chaffles as we find it gives the final product a better texture.
