Did you try my EASY Sugar Free Strawberry Shortcake ?
That shortcake recipe is basically made using a low carb biscuit. It is then layered with strawberries and cream.
To make this recipe you will need a bundt style cake pan. You can find a variety of bundt cake pans here.
This cake is really the combination of three tasty desserts.
First off, this is a bundt style cake as it is baked in a bundt style pan. However, this cake has also been inspired by both a classic pound cake and a frosted cinnamon bun...all with no added sugar 😉.
To keep the cake part of this recipe low in sugar, you can use half and half as your liquid added to the batter. The cake will still taste good as a result.
However, to make this cake more moist, you can use buttermilk or sour cream instead of the half and half.
Here are some tips for making bundt cake.
Bundt style cakes do best when you double prep the cake pan as this makes it easier to release the cake from the pan. This means doing two methods of nonstick such as greasing the pan and dusting it with flour.
More helpful tips for you.
- Also, this is one of those cakes that you can bake on top of a baking sheet. This will prevent over spilling of the batter from making a mess in your oven.
- This recipe ingredients are intended for a 12 cup capacity bundt pan. If you are using a smaller pan, simply adjust the ingredients as needed.
- This cake can be made with half and half. However, it will make the cake a bit less moist than using evaporated milk, sour cream, or buttermilk.
How to store left over Cinnamon Bun Cake.

How to make Sugar Free Cinnamon Bun Pound Cake
Servings: 10 servings.
Prep: 8 minutes.
Bake: 80 minutes.
Total: 2 hours 5 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 300 and double prep your bundt cake pan for nonstick. I use nonstick spray and then dust generously with flour.
- In a medium bowl, use a whisk or sift together the flour, baking powder, and optional salt (for unsalted butter users).
- Next, in a mixing bowl with a whisk attachment and on medium-high speed, beat together the butter and sugar alternative until creamy (about five minutes).
- Turn the mixer down to medium and add the eggs, one at a time, stopping to scrape the bowl between additions.
- Now, we will add the dry ingredients from the medium bowl to the mixing bowl. Set the mixer to low speed, add the dry ingredients, and mix until just combined.
- Scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl and then stir in the milk and vanilla. Set this bowl to the side while you make the swirl.
- To make the cinnamon swirl, mix together the melted butter, brown sugar alternative and ground cinnamon until blended.
- Pour half of your cake batter from the mixing bowl into your prepped bundt pan. Drizzle about half of the swirl mixture over the batter and then use a butter knife or spoon to gently make the swirl. Repeat this process with the remaining ingredients.
- Bake this cake for 80-85 minutes or until a toothpick comes out mostly clean and the cake is turning golden brown. When you test with a toothpick, place your toothpick into the center of the cake (between the bundt hole and sides).
How to make sugar free cream cheese icing.
This icing will go on top of the cake once it has somewhat cooled down enough.
Remove the cake from the oven when done and allow it to sit at room temperature for 15 minutes.
- Place your cooling rack over the cake and flip the cake over so that it can sit on top of the cooling rack to finish cooling.
- Meanwhile, combine the sugar free powdered sugar, remaining vanilla and milk in a medium bowl.
- Carefully pour the icing over the cake.
- Serve and enjoy the cake.
