Take a break from traditional pumpkin pie and complete your Thanksgiving meal with this scrumptious pecan-topped pumpkin cake. It's satisfying and delicious, yet lightened up by using fat-free evaporated milk, egg substitute, and reduced-calorie margarine.

You'll just love having this gorgeous-looking cake recipe on hand to finish off any holiday party.
