Another great use for canned pumpkin

I was thinking about the combination of pumpkin and chocolate and decided that I wanted to make a marble cake. I looked for recipes and found this low fat marble cake recipe on ehow.com. I then morphed it into what I wanted it to be:

Pumpkin Chocolate Marble Cake
