What a delicious treat to serve your family or guests for the holidays. Great for people who are diabetic or on a low carb diet. Watch this cake quickly disappear almost as soon as you serve it.

1 cup artificial sweetener (such as Equal Spoonful or Splenda Granular)
1 cup canned 100% pumpkin
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 cup self-rising flour
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg

4 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 to 2 cups lite or fat-free non-dairy whipped topping, thawed
