Instructions
For the Cake:
- Preheat the oven to 325°F. Spray an 8 x 8-inch pan or baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- Spread ⅔ cup Pecans (Chopped) evenly on the bottom of the prepared pan / dish.⅔ cup Pecans
- Combine 10.6 ounces Keto Yellow Cake Mix, ½ cup Water, 3 Eggs, 3 tablespoons Unsalted Butter (melted). Pour or spread the mixture evenly over the chopped pecans.10.6 ounces Keto Yellow Cake Mix, ½ cup Water, 3 Eggs, 9 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
- In a stand mixer or large mixing bowl, beat 6 ounces Cream Cheese and 6 tablespoons Unsalted Butter (softened) until smooth. Add in 1.25 cups Powdered Allulose (sifted), 1.25 cups Powdered Erythritol (sifted), 2 teaspoons Cinnamon, 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract, and ¼ teaspoon Kosher Salt. Continue beating until thoroughly combined.6 ounces Cream Cheese, 2.75 cups Powdered Allulose, 1.25 cups Powdered Erythritol, 2 teaspoons Cinnamon, 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract, ¼ teaspoon Kosher Salt, 9 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
- Spoon the cream cheese mixture over the cake batter.
- Bake at 325°F for approximately 35-40 minutes. The center will still have a little wiggle to it but will not be liquid. The edges will be firm. The color will be a medium brown. (The allulose causes it to brown quickly.)
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before frosting.
- Optionally, you can press a king cake baby into the cake at this point.
For the Frosting:
- In a small mixing bowl, combine 1.5 cups Powdered Allulose with ¼ cup Heavy Cream and 2 tablespoons Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk. Stir until you have a smooth but spreadable frosting. It should not be overly liquid. If it becomes too thin, you can add a little more powdered allulose. If it is too thick, add a little more Unsweetened Almond Milk.¼ cup Heavy Cream, 2 tablespoons Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk, 2.75 cups Powdered Allulose
- Spread the frosting on top of the cooled cake.
For the Colored Granulated Erythritol:
- Divide 3 tablespoons Granulated Erythritol evenly across 3 small bowls. Mix 1 gram each Purple, Green, and Yellow Food Coloring Powders with the Granulated Erythritol in the separate bowls.3 tablespoons Granulated Erythritol, 3 grams Food Coloring Powder
- Decorate the frosting by sprinkling the colored erythritol on top in a pattern of your choosing. (I just use stripes.)
