Can I Substitute Butter for Avocado Oil?

Yes you can. I have a very particular way I make my batter by whipping the eggs into a frenzy and slowly streaming in the oil. You can do the same thing using melted butter.

Do a Batter Taste Test

I always microwave a teaspoon of batter for about 20 seconds (give or take) to assess taste. This is especially important when you are adding spices to a batter. Some like pumpkin cake more pumpkin spiced than others.

How do you Bake a Sheet Pan Cake?

Use a quarter sized sheet pan and parchment paper. You want to end up with cake about two inches high.

What is Stabilized Whipped Cream?

Stabilized whipped cream is made from heavy cream, cream cheese and or Swerve confectioner’s sugar. The two tablespoons of cream cheese keeps the cream stable. In other words, you can put this sheet cake in the fridge with the whipped cream and it will stay perfect. Recipe here.

Tips for Easy Keto Pumpkin Sheet Pan Cake Squares

  • Use pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling.
  • Don’t overbake, as you don’t want the edges browned. Use food thermometer in center. Take out at 207 F. 98 C.
  • Use parchment paper.
  • Don’t over mix the batter, which can make a cake dense and dry.
  • Do a taste test as mentioned above.
  • Cool completely, before cutting into squares or applying whipped cream.
  • Don’t over mix the stabilized whipped cream.
  • Use a piped bag and piping tip if you have it for a fancier look for whipped cream.

  1. Me again, I went back and read through the details and see a quarter sheet pan and parchment paper are recommended; I do have a habit (perhaps like many experienced cooks) of jumping to the recipe ingredients and directions (printable/pinnable). Those do indeed need a correction. Thanks for the recipe, looking forward to trying it out.
