Ingredients
  • 1½ cups sugar
  • 2 cups pumpkin puree (or a 15 oz canned pumpkin)
  • 1 cup oil (or you can substitute applesauce)
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 cups flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ¼ cup butter, softened
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 3 to 4 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
  1. Mix sugar, pumpkin, oil, and eggs in a large bowl. Make sure the eggs are all well-beaten.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, and cloves). Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients. Mix until combined.
  3. Grease a 15" x 10" x 1" jelly roll pan (large cookie sheet). Pour batter into pan and spread evenly.
  4. Bake at 350 degrees F for 20-25 minutes. You'll know it's done when the cake springs back when you touch it or when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  5. Allow to cool on a cooling rack while you make the frosting.
  6. Make sure butter and cream cheese are softened (but not melted).
  7. With a mixer, blend together butter and cream cheese. Add vanilla. Gradually add in 3 to 4 cups of powdered sugar, depending on your taste and consistency preference. Note: No milk is needed in this frosting, but if you want to then down your frosting, you can add some, starting with just a tablespoon.
  8. Spread over cake when it is completely cooled.
