I'm not really into pumpkin (I just don't like the taste). But, here are three pumpkin recipes previously posted on this site (I'll post some more baked pumpkin recipes separately):

1 Snackwells white cake mix prepared in 2 9 inch round cake pans (cooled)
1 box sugar free jello(4 oz serving size) any red flavor
1 box sugar free (4 oz serving size) Lime jello
2 cups hot water
1 tub (8 or 12 oz) Cool Whip Free
Place cake layers, top sides up in clean 9-inch round cake pans.
Pierce cake with large fork at 1/2 inch intervals.
Stir in 1 cup boiling water into each flavor of the jello flavors ( use seperate bowls for each flavor) until completely dissolved. Carefully pour red jello over 1 cake layer and lime jello over second cake layer.
Refrigerate 3 hours.
Dip one cake pan in warm water 10 seconds; unmold onto serving plate. Spread with some of the whipped topping. Unmold second cake layer, carefully placing on first cake layer. frost top and sides of cake with rest of whipped topping.
Refridgerate at least 1 hour oruntil ready to serve. Store leftovers in fridge.
This cake is always moist and my kids love it-they don't even notice I use the sugar-free jello and coolwhip free on it.
Points
Box of Jello = .8 (I round up to 1 point)
Cool Whip Free= 7.5 for entire tub
so thats 9.5 plus your cake mix. I usually slice the cake into 16 servings. Everyone in my husbands family laughs at me because I get square pieces outta a round cake-instead of their version-big ole triangle plunk sizes-did I mention they are all overweight also? hehe)
Those of you with kids--kids love pouring the jello over the cake. Mine also decorate it with lil candy canes- I just get take em off my piece.
