Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup pumpkin purée
- 3/4 cup Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%)
- 3 large eggs
- 1/3 cup maple syrup or honey
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin purée, Greek yogurt, eggs, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, combine almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir gently until just blended. Do not overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 35–40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan, then refrigerate before slicing for best texture.
Notes
- Store the cake covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Top with a dollop of Greek yogurt, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flair.
- For a dairy-free version, use coconut yogurt instead of Greek yogurt.
- This cake freezes well — slice and freeze individually for quick snacks!
