Ingredients

Pumpkin Bars

  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup canola oil
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 15 ounces canned pumpkin
  • 2 cups flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

Cream Cheese Frosting

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon almond extract
  • 1 tablespoon milk room temperature

Instructions

Pumpkin Bars

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a half sheet pan (13"x18") and set aside.
  • Mix eggs, oil, sugar, and pumpkin in a large bowl. Sift remaining ingredients and combine with the pumpkin mixture. Pour into prepared pan.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the cake springs back when lightly tapped. Let cool while you prepare the frosting.

Cream Cheese Frosting

  • In a large bowl, beat together the butter and cream cheese with an electric mixer. With the mixer on low speed, add the powdered sugar a cup at a time until smooth and creamy. Beat in the vanilla extract.
  • Once the cake is cooled, frost, slice, and enjoy!
