Yummy Pumpkin Cake




I made this recipe I found called Yummy Pumpkin Bars (Jill McKenzie, 52 weeks of proven recipes for picky kids.) It was so good that I decided to make it as part of our Thanksgiving dinner. However, I think that It should be called Yummy Pumpkin cake! I think that it tastes much more like a cake then a bar. This time I am going to frost the pieces individually as I serve them. Last time Adam found the cake and ate all of the frosting off. Here is the recipe if you want it.



Yummy Pumpkin Cake

4 eggs
2 cups sugar
1 cup oil
1 15-ounce can of pumpkin
2 tea. Cinnamon
2 cups flour
2 tea. Baking soda
½ tea. Salt

Frosting
1 3-ounce package of cream cheese
1 tea. Vanilla
1 Tab. Milk or cream
6 Tab. Butter, softened
3 cups powdered sugar
Dash of salt



Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray; set aside. In large bowl, beat eggs with mixer until frothy. Add sugar, oil, and pumpkin mix; and mix until smooth. Add cinnamon, flour, baking soda ,and salt. Spread evenly in prepared pan and bake 25 to 30 min. until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely on a wire rack.
Prepare frosting by mixing cream cheese, vanilla, milk or cream, butter, powered sugar, and a dash of salt in medium bowl until smooth.
