Leah
Can I use a gluten-free flour blend instead of the almond flour and coconut? If so how much? Thank you
Swerve
Hey Leah! Thanks for checking out the recipe. That should work just fine. For the pecan strudel, just sub 1/2 cup of your blend for the almond flour. And for the cake, sub out 2 2/3 cups of your blend in place of the almond, coconut, and protein powder.
Anne
What is an effective substitute for the protein powder?
Swerve
Hi Anne, the purpose of the protein powder is the give the cake a light and fluffy texture. You can leave it out or use dried egg white powder instead. Hope this helps!
Debbie
This looks amazing. I'm looking at the nutritional information and I'm confused as to how you got to 3G net carbs.
Swerve
Hey Debbie, Thanks for your comment! To find net carbs, you subtract fiber and Swerve from total carbs. We understand your confusion, as this would equal 2g. But we actually look at the raw numbers when finding net carbs, so because of rounding and adding back in the fiber in Swerve that's already been subtracted, the actual number of net carbs is 2.92. Let us know if you have any more questions!

The loaf cake pictured for this recipe looks like it was not baked in a 9x13” cake pan, but a much smaller loaf pan. Is that a half recipe? If so, how long was it baked? Thanks.
Swerve
Hi Victoria! Thanks for visiting our site. this recipe calls for a small, 9x5 inch loaf pan. This is the full recipe for this size. Hope this helps! Let us know if you have any more questions :)

Carolyn--I just found this recipe last week and have made it twice already. My husband LOVES it. It is very similar to one I used to make that the whole family loved that was NOT low carb. This is awesome! Thank you!!
Julie
Total carbs is 23g!!!!! I just blew my whole day
Swerve
Hi Julie, not to worry! This dessert only has 3g NET carbs per serving. Since fiber and Swerve don't affect blood sugar, then you don't count the carbs coming from those sources. Hope this helps!
Barbara Jordan
Could you substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt?
Swerve
definitely!
Nancy
This looks really good. Did you use granular or the powdered Swerve for both the cake mixture and topping?
Swerve
Hi Nancy, we used granular Swerve for both. It's a delicious recipe!
Kate
Can you use egg whites in place of whole eggs?
