I don't know if it's "low cal" but you could switch ingredients up to make it lighter:

We skipped the ginger and cloves - added cocoa powder instead.
Use a mixture of whole wheat & white flours.
You can use part apple sauce/part oil to cut down the fat.
Someone in the recipe reviews suggests skipping half the sugar and replacing with maple syrup.
We added semi sweet choco chips & pecans to ours. Skip the frosting though - that was way too sweet for our taste.
Next time we will use the same dough recipe to make pancakes instead0 -
My kids love these. They are pretty dense so they take a while to cook. Very yummy! I don't like ginger so I substitute ground cloves for the ginger.

PUMPKIN ANGEL FOOD CAKE
Ingredients
1 cup canned pumpkin
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
1 package (16 ounces) angel food cake mix
14 tablespoons reduced-fat whipped topping
Additional ground cinnamon, optional
Directions
In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and ginger. Prepare cake mix according to package directions. Fold a fourth of the batter into pumpkin mixture; gently fold in the remaining batter. Gently spoon into an ungreased 10-in. tube pan. Cut through batter with a knife to remove air pockets.
Bake on the lowest oven rack at 350° for 38-44 minutes or until top is golden brown and cake springs back when lightly touched and entire top appears dry. Immediately invert pan; cool completely, about 1 hour.
Run a knife around side and center tube of pan. Remove cake to a serving plate. Garnish each slice with 1 tablespoon whipped topping; sprinkle with cinnamon if desired. Yield: 14 servings.
