Pumpkin Cake with Cinnamon Glaze

I can't begin to tell you how much I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this cake.  It's delicious, moist, dense, rich, easy to make, and, if all that wasn't enough, it's low fat.  Ya, seriously!  How amazing is that?!  It's  a wonderful treat anytime but yummy enough to grace your holiday table.  The glaze is very cinnamon-y so feel free to cut back the cinnamon a little if you want the glaze to be a bit more subtle.  When you make this cake be sure to use an electric mixer.  The batter is really thick and would be a nightmare to mix well by hand.  Enjoy!
