Very good (I think) brownie-like cake!
When I made this I used a 8" springform pan, substituted about 4T. Atkins vanilla syrup for 2T of the Splenda granular and eliminated the vanilla extract, and used almond meal (NOT sifted) and cut it into 8 servings. What I came up with was 7 net carbs per piece (1/8 cake). 18 pieces from original recipe is just WAY to small a serving.
Also you CAN NOT taste the pumpkin at all. It just makes it a moist cake 
I tried it plain and with a cream cheese frosting I whipped up and while it's good both ways definitely better with the frosting if you can afford the carbs and calories but is good plain too.
