Notes

Nutrition and carbs - Some nutrition labels omit sugar alcohols or allulose from the nutrition calculation since it does not affect blood sugar. For transparency, I have included all carbs and calculated the net carbs below. Always use a food logging app like Cronometer according to the brands you use in order to get accurate nutrition information.

44.80 Total Carbs – 5.00 Fiber – 36.01 Sugar Alcohols – 0 Allulose = 3.88 Net Carbs for entire recipe (cake and frosting included)
