So, it took me 4 times to get this recipe right and I finally mastered it. For the longest time I couldn’t figure out what was wrong with it and then it hit me to cut down on the butter and sugar and BOOM it was good. I couldn’t be more prouder of how it turned out and how good it tastes. I hope you like it as much as I do.

    Very good. My husband said it is the best Keto coffee cake recipe I’ve tried so far, though it was a little too sweet for me and I plan to reduce sweetener to 3/4 cup next time. I did not have a bundt pan, so I used a 9X13 glass pan and baked for about 25 minutes. It was very thin, but a good way to go if you have company, or a big family, and need to serve more people. Next time, I think I will try a 9X9 pan and use about half the amount of pecans.
