How to Make Granny Z's Pumpkin Cake With Cream Cheese Frosting

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 15x10x1 inch jelly roll pan.
  2. In a large bowl, beat together eggs, vegetable oil, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Stir in the pumpkin puree.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared jelly roll pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting.
  9. While the cake cools, prepare the frosting: In a medium bowl, beat together softened cream cheese and margarine until smooth.
  10. Gradually add powdered sugar, beating until light and fluffy.
  11. Stir in vanilla extract.
  12. Once the cake is completely cool, frost evenly with the cream cheese frosting.
