PSL season (my favorite season) is officially here! And what better way to celebrate than with a delicious low-carb cake that perfectly pulls together all the flavors from your favorite cozy latte – except instead of drinking it, you get to eat it! This keto pumpkin spice latte cake will not disappoint any PSL lover, and may even convert a few non-believers over to the orange side.

This cake consists of three layers: a super moist, flavorful pumpkin spice cake, creamy whipped cream, and a delicious espresso infused buttercream to top it all off. A grande Pumpkin Spice Latte from Starbucks contains over 380 calories, 52g net carbs, and 50g sugar, while a serving of this cake only contains 170 calories, 2g net carbs, and less than 1g sugar. That’s a no-brainer if you ask me. See ya later Starbucks, this keto cake has arrived. 😎

In case you missed it, I recently announced a secret project I’ve been working on, and it’s going to be an absolute game changer. I knew my audience needed a way to make healthier, keto-friendly desserts more convenient, so I set out to make that happen. My product line, Fit Bake, is officially launching in October/November 2020!!! The products are still a secret, but make sure to follow @shopfitbake on Instagram for the product reveal coming soon! Can’t wait to share!

Anyway, back to this recipe: I first developed this PSL cake recipe in fall of 2019, and it was such a hit that I also included it in my most recent resource, The Keto Dessert eBook 2.0, which is a complete guide to keto baking and even includes updates with new recipes on occasion! A new update was actually just added yesterday, and includes recipes for keto pumpkin bread and pumpkin spice cheesecake filled cookies. Definitely an amazing resource to check out if you need a go-to for amazing keto desserts!

At only 170 calories and 2 net carbs including all the toppings, this recipe is definitely a must-make! You’ll be surprised when it quickly gets gobbled up by keto and non-keto eaters alike. And although it looks like an impressive and complicated dessert, it’s actually fairly simple to make – ready start-to-finish in under 1 hour!

2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
2 tsp pumpkin pie spice blend
1/3 cup unsweetened pumpkin puree
1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
2 large eggs

Espresso Buttercream:

1/4 cup salted butter softened
3/4 cup powdered sugar-free sweetener*
1 Tbsp hot water
1 tsp instant espresso powder

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 F.
Combine dry cake ingredients in a bowl. Add wet ingredients, and stir until combined.
Pour into parchment lined 8x8-inch baking pan, and bake for 25-30 minutes. Allow to cool.
Whipped cream: beat heavy cream with electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Add sweetener.
Buttercream: combine all ingredients in a bowl, and stir until smooth.
Assemble: to get the “poke cake” affect (optional), poke holes into the cake. Spread cake evenly with whipped cream. Spread espresso frosting on top of whipped cream.
Slice into 12 pieces, and enjoy!!!

Notes

*For the sweetener, I recommend Lakanto classic and powdered sweeteners. These sweeteners are a blend of erythritol and monk fruit that perfectly replicate the flavor of real sugar, in my opinion. 20% off code: SARAH at www.lakanto.com.
