DIRECTIONS

Use the Atkins recipe to make Atkins Flour Mix, you will need 1/4 cup.
 
  1. Heat oven to 350°F. Mist an 8-inch round cake pan with cooking spray; set aside.  
  2. Chop pecans then combine with the whole-wheat flour, Atkins Flour Mix, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
  3. Cream 6 tablespoons butter, sugar substitute, and 1 teaspoon vanilla (reserve remaining teaspoon for the frosting)  in another medium bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy.  Add egg and egg yolk; beat until incorporated, scraping down sides of bowl if necessary.  Add sour cream; beat until incorporated.  Add flour mixture; mix on low speed until just combined.  
  4. Spread batter into pan; bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Invert cake onto a wire rack to cool. Wrap cake in plastic wrap until  ready to serve; transfer to a plate and frost  if desired before cutting into wedges.   
  5. For Frosting:  Cream 1 1/2 cups butter with 1/4 cup pancake syrup, a pinch of salt and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.  Spread frosting on the top and sides of the cooled cake.  Add a pecan to each slice if desired as decoration.
