Ingredients

1 (15 oz) can pumpkin puree

1 ⅔ cups white sugar

1 cup vegetable oil

4 large eggs

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 tsp ground cinnamon

2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp salt

½ cup butter, softened

1 (3 oz) package cream cheese, softened

1 tsp vanilla extract

2 cups confectioners' sugar

Directions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a medium bowl, use an electric mixer to combine the pumpkin puree, sugar, oil, and eggs until well mixed.

In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Stir the dry ingredients into the pumpkin mixture until fully combined.

Spread the batter evenly into an ungreased 10x15-inch jelly roll pan.

Bake until the cake is ready - it should bounce back when gently pressed, which will take about 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool.

While the cake is cooling, prepare the frosting: In a bowl, beat together the butter and cream cheese until smooth. Add the vanilla, then gradually mix in the confectioners' sugar until the mixture is smooth.

Spread the frosting evenly on top of the cooled cake. Cut into 24 squares and serve!

Enjoy!
