Ingredients
- 1/4 cup whole raw cashews
- 1/4 cup vanilla, pumpkin, or cinnamon protein powder
- 1/3 cup tapioca flour
- 1/3 cup almond flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup packed pumpkin puree
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 cup melted butter or coconut oil
- 2/3 cup stevia
- 3 tablespoons ground flaxseed
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon allspice
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- Pumpkin Cream Cheese Frosting
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Prep two 9-inch cake pans by greasing with coconut oil or spraying with baking spray.
- Process the cashews in a food processor until they resemble a coarse meal. Then add in and blend all of the ingredients for the cake together in the food processor.
- Divide the cake batter evenly between the two cake pans and bake for 30 to 35 minutes on the center rack until springy in the center and slightly browned. Place the pans on wire racks to cool for about 10 minutes before gently removing to fully cool on the rack.
- In a blender or food processor, thoroughly combine all of the ingredients for the cream cheese frosting.
- If the cake is cooled completely and the frosting is at room temperature, you can frost the tops of the cakes right away, and layer one on top of the other.
- Serve immediately or cover well and store in the refrigerator for up to a week.
