THis is from the past. Steph/Ray. Delicious.

Grandma Jean's Pumpkin Pudding Bundt Cake (Low Carb)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My grandmother always made this cake on the holidays and I sorely missed it. This cake came out so well I would defy my own grandmother to tell that it was not her original recipe:

Ingredients:

* 3 Cups Kevin's Cake and Cookie Flour
* 2 Cups Sugar Equivalent *
* 2 tsp Baking Powder
* 2 tsp Baking Soda
* 1/2 tsp Salt
* 1/2 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice
* 1/2 tsp Cinnamon

* 4 Eggs
* 1 Cup Oil
* 2 Cups Pumpkin Puree (or 18 oz. can)
* 1/2 Cup Unsweetened Almond Breeze Milk (if needed)
* 1 Cup Low Carb Chocolate Chips
* 1 Cup Chopped Walnuts

Directions:
Preheat Oven to 350.
Mix dry ingredients.
Mix eggs, oil, pumpkin. If too dry, add milk. Probably not necessary.
Add dry ingredients to wet and beat till blended.
Add nuts and chocolate chips.
Pour into greased/prepared bundt pan and bake 1hr and 10 min.
If 13x 9 pan shorten bake time considerably

* I used Scott123's formula for Sugar Replacement, which is: 1/3 C Erythritol, 1/3 C Splenda Equivalent, 2 Packet Sweet One, and 2/3 C Poly-D. The pumpkin was probably more than enough to moisten this batter. The Poly-D gives both bulk and moisture to foods, but it forced me to bake this at a longer time at a lower temperature. I will probably omit it next time or cut it down significantly for a less 'pudding cake' consistency and a lighter weight crumb. But the taste of this sugar replacement formula was spot on.

Makes 16-20 servings.

Nutritional info per slice is about 280 calories, 7 net carbs (I don't count Erythritol), and if my LifeForm program is to be believed, a whopping amount of fiber (more than 30g).

Pictures are for half the batch, cooked in a silicone pan:






The pictures above show less than half of the recipe. I made only half a batch, and then reserved about a cup to make my husband a version without nuts, because he foolishly disdains delectable walnuts and pecans.

Also, I could have drizzled the whole thing in a chocolate glaze but I was feeling lazy, and the chocolate chips had already melted to the bottom to make a bit of their own chocolate crust on top. (Those aren't scorch marks!)

I actually have this on my list of recipes to modify-
just haven't got around to it yet, but I definitely
intend to do it this season!

How would you modify it? I would take the choco chips out.
Keep the nuts in.
