This is much like a creamy pumpkin pie cake. It can be low carb depending on sweetener choice. Flourless, grain free, nutfree, and has dairy free options. Can also be topped with melted chocolate, or homemade low carb chocolate sauce. I aslo enjoy putting coconut whip or diary whip cream on top. You could put chocolate sauce and whip on top if you desire.

Thank you for this recipe. I had a buttercup squash I needed to use, so I peeled it, cubed it, steamed it 25 minutes, mashed it, and then made about 7 of these lovely little pumpkin cakes. Everyone in my family liked them, and that's saying something! I have printed the recipe so I can make these again. I appreciate you sharing this.
