Author Jesseca

Ingredients

For the cake:

  • 4 eggs
  • 1⅔ cups granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 15 oz can pumpkin
  • 2 cups flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

For the Frosting:

  • 8 oz package cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Line a 12x16 pan (a cookie sheet with lifted edges) with parchment and set aside.
  • Whisk together the eggs, sugar, oil, and pumpkin in the bowl of an electric mixer. Add the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, salt, and baking soda until combined. Pour into your prepared pan and bake 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely.
  • While your bars cool, cream together the cream cheese and butter until fluffy. Slowly add the powdered sugar and vanilla and mix until your desired consistency is reached. Spread over your cooled bars.
  • Cut into squares and serve.
