RECIPE - pumpkin cake
I was at my mom's last night enjoying delicious dessert, and it reminded me I need to share this awesome recipe.
everyone loves it. no exceptions. Usually I change to 1.5x the icing.
i'll bump this again around Thanksgiving
SUPER EASY
PUMPKIN CAKE BARS
Cream these together in a bowl
1 15 oz can pumpkin
4 eggs
1/2 c. oil (or applesauce, though I've never tried)
Mix these together in a separate bowl, then combine with the above
2 c. sugar
2 tsp. cinnamon
2 c. flour
2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
Bake at 350 for 25 min in a greased 11 x 15 pan
Icing
Cream
3 oz cream cheese
3/4 stick softened (room temp) butter (6 tbsp)
Add:
1 & 3/4 c. 10x powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla (I usually do 2)
1 tsp. milk
This icing usually takes a while before it starts getting smooth, and looks like it might be too dry until then. Don't despair, no need for more milk. I recommend using a mixer, not doing it by hand. it takes about 10 min by hand
Spread icing over cooled pumpkin cake.
