Low Carb Gooey Sticky Butter Cake

Low Carb Gooey Sticky Butter CakeLow Carb Gooey Sticky Butter CakeWell, this Low Carb Gooey Sticky Butter Cake in not really “sticky” in the traditional way we think of as sticky but it sure looks like it should be.  This is an extremely moist and versatile basic vanilla butter cake and may be changed to suit your fancy. Low carb gooey sticky butter cake is terrific on its own and you can make it into an orange, lemon, or almond poppy seed cake with the addition of 2 t of any different extracts and 1-2 T poppy seeds. Another great topping is Sweetened Condensed Milk

I have completely revamped this recipe.  I have taken out all of the arrowroot, decreased the almond meal, and added ground pecans which has now significantly decreased the carb count while increasing the fat.  If you have the other recipe and like it then great but I believe this one is actually much better.  Not sure if you can tell by the pictures but it is extremely moist and dense. With taste? Oh yeah, there is lots of that too.

The original recipe of this was made with a store bought yellow cake mix and to think I actually made it several times?  Yikes and yuck on me.

Baking PansThis is a reminder that if you are going to bake (anything) it would be a very good idea to have professional baking pans. Magic Line Pans are probably the best quality available, they come in about every size & shape you would ever need and…they are actually made here in the USA. There is even a complete size set (6”,7”,8”,9”,10”, and 12”) and with these pans you will have what you need (and more) to make the recipes.  Because I promote this set of pans several places on this site they keep selling out of them so if you don’t see the 6 pan combo call 309-747-2125 and they will make one for you.

Notes
  1. A half recipe works perfectly in a 7"x7" pan.
  2. As this is sugarfree it will not stick to the pan and should come out exactly as it looks.
  3. I didn't do it but I think maybe ½ C desiccated coconut might be good in the topping.
