Description
Savor the delightful flavors of a nutritious, keto 4-minute microwave pumpkin cake — a perfect winter celebration!
Ingredients
Topping:
1/4 cup broken pistachio pieces (or walnut pieces)
1 tablespoon melted butter (grass-fed if possible)
1 to 2 tablespoon Swerve Brown Sugar (sugar-free)
Cake:
2 eggs (pasture-raised if possible)
1/2 cup canned pumpkin (free of sugar or spices)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (or as much as desired)
2 teaspoons stevia or Swerve Brown Sugar
Instructions
- Spray a soup bowl with non-stick cooking spray. Evenly sprinkle pistachio pieces in the bottom of the bowl. Set aside.
- In another small bowl combine butter and sweetener. Place bowl in the microwave and cook for 30 seconds (or as needed) just enough to melt the butter and sweetener. Remove mixture from the microwave. Stir together. Pour the mixture evenly over the pistachios in the bottom of the soup bowl. Set aside.
- In another small mixing bowl combine all cake ingredients, except for the sweetener. Using a hand mixer, blend all ingredients together into a smooth batter with no lumps. Add one teaspoon of stevia. Taste to see if you desire more sweetness. Remember the nut crumble is also sweet. If the batter is not yet sweet enough, add more sweetener as desired. Mix well.
- Pour the batter into the soup bowl over the pistachio-butter mixture. Using a spoon make the batter even and smooth.
- Set the soup bowl in the microwave. Microwave the batter for 4 minutes. Remove the soup bowl from the microwave.
- Use gloves as the soup bowl is hot. Place a plate over the soup bowl and turn the soup bowl upside down. Using both hands, shake the soup bowl a little to make sure the cake comes out onto the plate. Remove the bowl, leaving the cake on the plate.
- Add one ramekin of Jell-O pudding in a small plastic lunch bag, in one corner. Twist the bag so that all the pudding is in one end. Cut a small hole in the bag at the pudding end. Design the cake with the pudding as desired.
- Eat warm.
