Cool nights and blooming goldenrod tell us that fall is rapidly approaching. The pumpkin vines are hanging full and ready for harvest. I love pumpkin cake and this one is a winner with Bake Believe Dark Chocolate Chips. This cake didn’t last long at our house and I a sure it won’t at your either. You may wonder why I have chosen to add peanut flour to this cake! I find that peanut flour helps the texture of low-carb cakes making the more like the sugar/flour laden ones.

Pumpkins are part of the squash family, one of the oldest domesticated plants, and are widely grown for commercial use in food and decorations. In 2017 1.5 billion pounds of pumpkins were grown in the US.

I have found that cakes made entirely with almond flour are very calories dense. That is what have chosen to use THM Baking Blend and Peanut Flour with this recipe. It is still a Heavy S but with a lighter calories load.
