Yield: 36

Ingredients:

CAKE INGREDIENTS

  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut milk
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1/3 cup pumpkin
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice (cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil (melted)

CAKE POPS INGREDIENTS

  • 1/2 cup almond milk cream cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin spice stevia (or vanilla)
  • 36 cake pop sticks
  • 1 cup cacao butter
  • 1/2 cup full fat unsweetened coconut milk
  • a few drops natural orange food color
  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin spice stevia

Directions:

Cake Instructions:

  • Preheat your oven to 350F (Bake).
  • Line the bottom of a 9” round cake pan with parchment. (I generally trace the bottom of the cake pan onto the parchment and cut it to fit. This is a huge help for releasing the cake after it cools).
  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine the eggs, coconut milk, honey, pumpkin and vanilla. Whisk or stir to blend.
  • To the bowl add the almond flour, pumpkin pie spice mix, salt, and baking powder and blend.
  • Add the melted coconut oil and finish blending.
  • Pour the batter into the cake pan and bake about 35-40 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • Once completely cooled, remove from pan and remember to remove the parchment from the bottom.

Cake Pop Instructions:

  • In a medium bowl, break up a full Pumpkin Spice Cake into chunks and crumbs.
  • Blend almond milk cream cheese and about ½ tsp pumpkin spice stevia (or vanilla). Add more stevia as desired for sweetness.
  • Using your hands or a portion scoop, form the cake into round balls (about the size of a golf ball).
  • Poke a cake pop stick into each ball and refrigerate at least 20 minutes (or freeze). You want your cake pop cold to help the coating stick.
  • In a small sauce pan, melt cacao butter over very low heat briefly just until liquid. Be careful not to overheat as it will smoke and burn!
  • Pour the melted cacao butter into a bowl or glass for dipping. Add coconut milk, a few drops of natural orange food color (add more until you have a good orange color), and pumpkin spice stevia (maybe more to your liking). Whisk very well! You may need to whisk a couple of times throughout the dipping process.
  • Dip your cold cake pops while holding by the stick end. To keep the round shape, stick the pops into stiff floral foam and place in refrigerator. If your cake pops are cold, the coating should firm up quickly.

Notes:

Hint: I like to keep stiff floral foam for holding Cake Pops while they cool!
