A convenient cake mix, a can of pumpkin and a little applesauce make this extremely moist cake a delight to throw together. "With its thick cinnamon glaze, it seems anything but low-fat," says Connie Adams, Monaville, West Virginia.

Ingredients

1 package yellow cake mix (regular size)
1 can (15 ounces) solid-pack pumpkin
2/3 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup egg substitute
1/3 cup water
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
2-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, divided
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar

Moist and luscious. Great texture, so smooth. The icing is just enough and the cinnamon adds a great accent to the pumpkin.

If you love spices, I used spice cake mix vs. yellow cake mix and added 1/4 tsp of allspice in the cake mix. really good recipe!
