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.

DIRECTIONS
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, pumpkin, sugar, eggs, egg substitute, water, applesauce, 1 teaspoon cinnamon and nutmeg. Pour into a 10-in. fluted tube pan coated with nonstick cooking spray. Bake at 350° for 65-75 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
