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.
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 Small Bowls Or plastic baggies for mixing the Granulated Erythritol and Food Coloring Powders
King Cake Baby Optional. Should be washed and food safe.
Notes
For Carb calculation, there are 57.25 grams of sugar alcohol in each serving. Once subtracting that amount and the dietary fiber of 4 grams out, you're left with 5.75 grams of net carbs per serving. Sugar alcohol does not show up separately in the tool I use for nutrition calculation.
