Ingredients
Cake
- 1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin not pumpkin pie filling, puree
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 4 egg large
- 2 cups all-purpose flour 282 grams
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Cream Cheese Frosting
- 1 (8-ounce) package full-fat cream cheese softened
- 1/2 cup butter softened, salted
- 3-4 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract pure
- Sprinkles for decoration (optional)
Instructions
Cake
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a large, rimmed 13x18-inch baking sheet (aka a half sheet pan).
- In a large bowl, mix the pumpkin, sugar, oil, and eggs.
- Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Stir to combine.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread in an even layer. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the cake springs back lightly to the touch and has barely started to pull away from the sides of the pan. Do not overbake!
- Remove cake from oven and let cool.
Frosting
- In a medium mixing bowl add the softened cream cheese and softened butter. Beat on medium-high speed until creamy and smooth.
- Add the powdered sugar, and vanilla, and beat until creamy and combined.
- Frost the cooled cake and sprinkle a little bit of pumpkin pie spice or festive sprinkles on top for decoration.
Notes
- Storage: Once frosted, store your Pumpkin Bars in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Because the frosting has cream cheese in it, it is advisable to store these bars in the fridge, although they will be okay kept out on the counter for about a day. But they will stay nice and moist and will not dry out if stored properly in the fridge.
