Step 1
To prepare cake: Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a 12-cup Bundt pan with cooking spray.

Step 2
Whisk flour, splenda, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice and salt in a medium bowl.

Step 3
Blend 1 cup buttermilk, pumpkin puree and brown sugar splenda in a large bowl with an electric mixer on low speed. Beat in both egg whites. Stir in apple sauce, corn syrup and vanilla. Gradually add the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan.

Step 4
Bake the cake until a wooden skewer inserted in the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs attached, 1 to 1 1/4 hours. Let cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Remove from the pan and let cool completely on the rack, about 2 hours.

Step 5
To glaze & garnish cake: Combine confectioners' sugar and 1 tablespoon buttermilk in a small bowl, stirring until completely smooth. Place the cake on a serving plate and drizzle the glaze over the top; garnish with nuts while the glaze is still moist.
