How to Make Frosted Pumpkin Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 15x10x1 inch jelly roll pan, or grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground ginger, ¼ teaspoon ground cloves, and ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg.
- In a large bowl, beat together 2 large eggs, ½ cup vegetable oil, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, and 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes (jelly roll pan) or 25-30 minutes (9x13 inch pan), or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cool completely in the pan before frosting.
- To make the frosting: In a medium bowl, beat together 8 ounces cream cheese (softened), ½ cup unsalted butter (softened), 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 2-4 tablespoons milk until smooth.
- Gradually add 3-4 cups powdered sugar, one cup at a time, beating until light and fluffy. Add more milk if needed to reach desired consistency.
- Once the bars are completely cool, frost evenly and slice into bars.
