• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 3 large eggs

• 0.75 cup granulated monk fruit sweetener
• 8 ounces cream cheese
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup powdered monk fruit sweetener
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9 inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, eggs, unsweetened applesauce, unsweetened almond milk, vanilla extract, and granulated monk fruit sweetener. Whisk until smooth.

Step 4

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined and a batter forms.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 7

While the cake is baking, prepare the cream cheese frosting. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and unsalted butter together until smooth and creamy.

Step 8

Add the powdered monk fruit sweetener and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture, and beat until well combined and fluffy.

Step 9

Allow the cake to cool completely in the baking dish on a wire rack before frosting.

Step 10

Once the cake is cooled, spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the top using a spatula.

Step 11

Cut into squares and serve. Enjoy your sugar-free moist pumpkin cake!
