Amazing Dessert

[write2thepoint]

well, since my surgery two weeks ago, I have been down in the dumps and feeling really overly emotional. So, today even though I am supposed to be just lying around, I decided to make some comfort food. So I made this amazing low carb pumpkin pound cake from that guy, George Stella's cookbook. It was just what I needed--something sweet, dense and flavorful to end my dinner. I topped it off with splenda sweetened whipped cream yummy.If anyone needs or wants the recipe--let me know. I think it was better than my pain medication as I am feeling better already.

Re: Amazing Dessert

Okay here you go

Pumpkin Pound Cake
Preheat oven to 300

2 1/2 cups Almond Flour
1 1/2 cups sugar substitute (splenda)
1 1/2 t baking powder
1 1/2 t pumpkin pie spice
1/4 t salt
7 large eggs
1 1/2 cups canned pure pumpkin (not pie filling)
1 1/2 t vanilla extract

spray the loaf pan with pam or whatever

in a bowl whisk together all dry ingredients
in another bowl mix the wet ingredients

combine the two and pour into the loaf pan

Bake for 1 1/2 hours or until toothpick in the center comes out clean. Cool and slice.
I love to top it with the splenda sweetened whipped cream while it is still warm and it gets all melty and runs down the sides of the slice. Mmm-good!

Re: Amazing Dessert

Ugh, I need to get out of induction snappy like. It doesn't even have butter which leads me to believe it's not like, 50 bazillion calories... aka, I might eat the whole thing with some lovely whipped cream.

Wonder if I can substitute the almond with soy (I already have the soy).
Hmmmm.

Re: Amazing Dessert

I think the soy wouldn't taste as good, but I don't know. I love the nutty flavor with the almond flour

Re: Amazing Dessert

In my dreams! No! Sorry, cut in about inch thick slices and each slice is that many calories.

The *whole thing* is 180 calories?!
