Keto Pumpkin Bundt Cake is a yummy, low-carb pumpkin spice cake drizzled with a lovely cream cheese icing.
I adore bundt cakes. When I was a kid, my mom would bake this amazing iced lemon poppyseed bundt cake, which I suppose is more of a spring or summer cake. I will try to make a keto version of her lemon bundt cake in the spring.
Since it is Fall, I wanted to make a pumpkin spice bundt cake with warm Autumn spices and a creamy vanilla cream cheese icing.
Every time I hear the word "bundt cake" I think of the movie " My Big Fat Greek Wedding" and the scene where the Aunt puts a flower pot in the center of the bundt cake and says "I fixed the hole in your cake". Good times.
The recipe was inspired by my Pumpkin Pie Crumble Bars on this site, and pairs well with this Keto Pumpkin Caramel Latte.

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350℉ (177℃) and generously grease a silicone bundt pan.
In a large bowl whisk together the almond flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Using a stand mixer, or electric hand mixer beat together the coconut oil, low carb granular sweetener, vanilla extract, eggs, and pumpkin puree until smooth.
Carefully beat the almond flour mixture into the pumpkin mixture about ½ cup at a time. Beat until smooth.
Spoon the batter into the prepared bundt pan evenly and smooth the top. Place a sheet of parchment paper over the open end of the bundt pan just to cover the opening.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean and the top feels slightly firm to the touch.
Cool the cake in the pan for 20-30 minutes. Then carefully invert the pan onto a plate, to let the cake slide out and continue cooling.
Mix icing ingredients and pipe or drizzle over cake.
Slice cake & serve.
Hint: Place a sheet of parchment paper over the open end of the bundt pan just to cover the opening (helps to keep the bottom from burning) and remove the parchment paper halfway through baking time.
Equipment
We used a non-stick silicone 10-cup capacity bundt cake pan to make the recipe which made removal of the cake from the pan so easy.
This reusable washable piping bag comes in handy for icing on the cake, but you could also use a spoon to drizzle the icing over the cake.
Storage
Store the leftover cake in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Top tip
If you can't find pumpkin pie spice, then you can also make your own by mixing 2 teaspoons cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ginger powder, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves.

I absolutely loved this recipe. It is my 5th time making it and it is a BIG hit in my family, especially my daughter and my loathe-healthy-substitutions brothers!! It was great to see their reaction once I told them it was keto AND lactose free (with a few substitutions because the majority of us are lactose intolerant and we also are not a fan of the taste of baking soda).
Substitutions for the cake:
I used 4 teaspoons of baking powder instead of 2 tsp for baking powder and 1/4 tsp baking soda because we don’t like even the slightest taste of baking soda and also it helps from the cake getting to dark if using a regular Bundt cake pan.
I used allulose granular sugar replacement so not to have the icy after taste.
Substitutions for icing:
Lactose free full fat cream cheese (same amount as regular)
Lactaid sour cream instead of heavy cream (same amount as well)
Allulose powdered sugar (again to avoid the icy after taste)
I mix it and then I leave it in the fridge overnight to ice the cake in the morning. And oh, my, word!! Delicious!!
Thanks again for the recipe!!

This is incredibly moist and delicious! Your guests will never know its low carb and sugar free!
Stacey says
Thank you, Grandma B, for trying tthe recipe and for your kind words.
Rose says
This was delicious but I could NOT get it out of the pan. It was stuck so bad I had to abandon it. Any tips for preventing this in the future?
Stacey says
I used a silicone bundt cake pan.
AE says
Since I don’t have a silicone pan, I just greased my regular Bundt cake pan and let it cool off for about 45 minutes before I use a silicone spatula around the edge to help edge it off and it comes out without a problem.
Stacey says
Thank you AE, for trying the recipe and for shring your tips. 🙂
Erin says
I love bundts, too! This is so pretty and I love how you decorated it. Perfect for Thanksgiving!
Rose says
I will try that next time, thank you!
Megan Stevens says
Such a special recipe. I love the texture of bundt cakes, dense but still soft and light. This one turns out great with the eggs and pumpkin creating such a tender crumb. Thank you, it's a keeper!
Jean Choi says
