Lovin' this low carb treat

My husband & I loved this - so moist and dense - kind of a cross between poundcake and quick bread. No one else could believe it was low carb. My only problem was on my test batch for just my husband & me. I didn't keep it in the refrigerator and it started to mold in just 3 days. Subsequent batches have just not lasted that long.

My hubby loved this recipe. I was amazed as to how moist the cake was. It wasn't pound cake but it was incredibly healthy (low carb way) and just was a nice treat for the holidays.




Delicious! Heavenly!!1

We loved this in our family! Even non-low carbers ate it happily! It tasted best NOT fresh out of the oven but after it had sat for an hour or two. Somehow, it just came together sitting there cooling, and tasted better later on. Delicious plain for breakfast. Even better with a scoop of low carb butter pecan ice cream for dessert! Try it, you'll love it! Thank you, George Stella and Food Network!!

Couldn't believe it...

My husband and I were watching TV and saw this Pumpkin Pound Cake being made. We both thought it sounded very "interesting" to say the least..so we got busy and ground some almonds and made it. I think I'll try it with store bought almond flour next time as we weren't able to get as fine a flour as we thought we should. Bue it was absolutely delicious! If we handn't made it ourselves, we wouldn't have believed it didn't have any regular flour in it. This recipe will go in my "keeper" recipe files.

I just finished eating a piece of this, warm with a little butter. OMG, YUM!!!! I wonder if this could be made with the almond meal and not the flour. I found the almond meal to be substantially cheaper than the almond flour. Or you could always get the meal and run it through the food processor til it's more like flour. This pound cake is worth it though.. mmm




What a TREAT!

This recipe was good, but not something I would make all the time. The almond flour was $6.25 for the 2 1/2 cups at Fruitful Yield.




FABULOUS

I tried this recipe last Thanksgiving and we all love it - I'm making it again this year. It tastes like a deliciously extravagant desert - rich and flavorful - Can't believe it's low carb!!!

Just what I needed

I wanted something low carb but sweet and this did the trick. I would add 1/2 the amount of sugar substitute though. 1.5 cups of Splenda is definitely too much for my taste.

I love this. I made it up and I can't believe this thing is low carb. I made it for a 4th of July gathering. I think I am now in charge of making this for our holiday meals. Thanks George for yet another great recipe. :)




SWEET!!!

This is a very unusual texture, but you will be surprised....you will like it....A LOT. I couldn't believe I would, but with a dollop of whipped cream, it was delicious. The almond flour is expensive but worth it when you get a cake-like dessert that is so tasty. I would serve to company without hesitation.




Great Dessert

I liked this quite a bit, but almond flour is a little bit pricey. However, if you are in the early stages of the low carb life this is a great dessert, just be careful not to over indulge since almonds are high calorie.




Surprisingly sweet

I love the Pumpking Pound Cake. Mine came out sort of like a nut bread. I didn't get the almonds ground fine enough so we had tiny bits of almonds but the cake still came out deliscious. I was surprised I didn't need the whipped cream topping to make this palatable. It's a hit!!!




Gotta Serve it Warm or Toasted

Once you get over the bizarre texture this is pretty good. My advice is to serve it sliced thinly, toasted, with butter on top for breakfast. Don't compare it with non-low carb pound cakes, cuz you'll be disappointed, but on its own it stands up well.




GREAT!

These were VERY good and quite satisfying! They were quite moist, as well. I will probably add pecans or walnuts the next time that I make them; however, they are GREAT just the way the recipe is written.




Absolutely delicious!

This Pumpkin Pound Cake tastes great and is a delicious substitution for old time favorites - not giving up any flavor. Now that we have tried it, it is and will be a real Holiday favorite for our family.




pumpkin pound cake attempt #1

I was sooooo excited to see this one as I'm always looking for some way to satisfy my sweet tooth. I had some almond meal (from trader joes) and went out and bought the splenda and I was off and running. I mixed it up, stuck it in the oven and waited. When it was all said and done I was a bit dissapointed. It was too heavy and I thought maybe its because I used almond meal instead of almond flour. The taste was ok, especially when smothered in butter or creme cheese. I did go and buy some almond flour and the consistency between the two is not that different. My shop keeper said if you grind it up much more, the flour turns into almond butter. Not sure if I will try this again. Will keep watching the low carb show and see what else turns up.




Not Bad...Not Great

OK folks, finally made this cake today and it turned out well. The ?pound cake? is very dense and moist, not a bad texture at all. Almond flour is expensive but makes a better product than the gritty soy flour in many low carb recipes. The kitchen smelled wonderful while it baked for an hour and a half. The taste was reasonably good although somewhat bland and unlike many low carb "treats", this one is not being fed to my garbage disposer. Hopefully it will have more flavor with some cream cheese frosting on it. Alas, I don't think I will probably go through the bother of making this cake again. The ingredients are somewhat costly for the product that you get. At least this is a cake that I won't have trouble overeating. Unfortunately though, cake is not a low carb food....yet.




DELICIOUS!!!!

Easy to make, very moist, tasty, used a cream cheese frosting for when I sliced it. Will definitely make again! Wonderful for serving company. It is another Stella winner! Cynthia
