X-Post...5-Minute Pumpkin Cake

Can't figure out how to imbed a picture in this...it is too late in the day.   But I did manage to get some photos of this on my profile if you want to see how it looks.  I have had three bites of this so far and like the chocolate version, it is dense and filling.  Doubt I will be able to eat it tonight.  Woohoo!

5 Minute Pumpkin Cake

Seeing the many 5-Minute Cake recipes on the web had me jonesin' for a pumpkin cake version.  Shelley (www.theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com) made a great-sounding carrot cake version that inspired me to work on my pumpkin 'fix'.  Came out pretty good!

5 Minute Pumpkin Cake

1 egg, beaten
3 Tablespoons vanilla soymilk (I used Soy Slender)
2 Tablespoons Davinci sugar free Pumpkin Pie syrup
1/4 cup Libby's canned pumpkin
2 Tablespoons canola oil
3 Tablespoons Gluten-free pancake mix (http://maplegrove.stores.yahoo.net/glfrpr.html)
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
2 packets Splenda
1 scoop vanilla protein powder

Mix all ingredients together in a heat-proof glass measuring cup.  Microwave for 2 minutes, allow to sit 3-5 minutes.  Turn out onto a plate and divide into 4 slices.  I topped mine with Torani sf caramel sauce and an extra sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice.  Would also be good with ff whipped 'frosting'.

PS...tested the links in the other posting and they didn't work but I know these sites are up.  ???
