Instructions

  • Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • In a mixing bowl, use a mixer to mix the eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, and oil until the sugars are dissolved. Then fold in the pumpkin.
  • Combine the dry ingredients before adding to the wet mixture. I like to mix by hand at this point. It only takes a few minutes to get everything combined.
  • Use a half sheet pan.
    Prepare the sheet pan witheither a spray oil or a piece of parchment paper cut to fit. If you use theparchment paper, the bars can be lifted out of the pan and cut. It is a biteasier to serve this way, but I find cutting the bars right in the pan to beeasy too.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes or until set. When you lightly touch the center of the cake bars it will spring back into place. They are done. Make sure not to overbake.
  • Cool completely before frosting.
  • Frost with Cream Cheese Frosting. The Frosting Recipe is a separate recipe that is just below this recipe.
