  • Total Time: 27 minutes
  • Yield: 10 slices 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Pumpkin Cake:

  • 5 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup Whole Earth Sweetener Mix (or allulose - see below)
  • 2/3 cup canned pumpkin
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup plain whey protein powder
  • 1/2 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice (or cinnamon)
  • 1 tbsp baking powder

For the Cream Cheese Layer:

  • 1/4 cup powdered sweetener (non-erythritol will work best)
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 4 tbsp butter softened
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened

Instructions

Prepare the Cake:

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.  Grease a 15 x 10 x 1-inch jelly roll baking pan and line it with parchment paper, making sure to have an overhang.  Grease the parchment paper well with cooking spray and set the pan to the side.
  2. In the bowl of a standmixer with the whisk attached, add the eggs and sweetener.  Whip on high speed for 6-8 minutes or until the eggs have tripled in volume and are light and fluffy.
  3. While eggs are being whipped, add the almond flour, whey, canned pumpkin, pumpkin pie spice and baking powder and stir to mix everything together (the mixture will be very thick).
  4. Once eggs are done being whipped, remove about 1/3 rd of the egg mixture and quickly mix it into the pumpkin mixture to thin the pumpkin mixture.
  5. Next, take the thinned pumpkin mixture and carefully fold it into the whipped eggs, be careful not to deflate the eggs.
  6. When the two mixture are fully combined, spread the batter on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 17-19 minutes or until the egdes just begin to brown and the cake springs back in the center.
  7. Remove the cake from the oven and using the parchment overhang, lift the cake out of the pan and place it on a cooling rack.  Allow it cool for about 5 minutes before inverting it onto a second cooling rack that has been lined with a second piece of parchment paper.  Remove the first piece of parchment paper to allow some of the steam and moisture to be released.  Carefully, using the parchment overhang, roll the cake tightly.  Place the cake on a cooling rack and allow it to fully cool (about 2 hours)
  8. As the cake cools, prepare the cream cheese frosting by whipping together the room temperature ingredients.
  9. Once cake has cooled, carefully unroll the cake.  Spread the cream cheese filling over the cake and roll the cake back up.  Tightly wrap the cake in aluminum foil and place it in the fridge for 2 hours to firm.
  10. Before serving, dust with additional powdered sweetner if desired.

Notes

  • For the sugar substitute, I used Whole Earth which is a combination of Stevia, Erythritol and Monk Fruit - I HIGHLY suggest using ONLY this type of sweetener as other sweeteners will cause the roll to crack .  Allulose will work but will cause your cake to brown much faster (it will end up looking more like gingerbread!)
  • make sure to use the right size pan
  • if you are scared that the cake has stuck to the parchment, carefully run an angled spatula under the cake before rolling the cake.
  • the cake is ready when the edges just begin to brown
