3-Ingredient Pumpkin Spice Latte Cake

 Looking for a low calorie dessert option, I stumbled upon this pumpkin spice latte cake recipe. You make it in a round cake pan, slice the cake into 8 equal pieces, and each piece is only about 130 calories! Just note, you only use part of a can of pumpkin and only part of a boxed cake mix. This cake is much less sweet than a normal cake because of the added coffee, but you can easily dial-down the amount of coffee you use, or omit it entirely and just use water instead. I liked it, but people with a sweet-tooth  or a non-coffee lover might be less thrilled or demand some frosting.
