How to Make Kim's Grandma's Pumpkin Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, ½ teaspoon ground cloves, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cool completely in the pan before frosting.
- For the frosting: In a medium bowl, beat together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, 3 cups powdered sugar, and ¼ cup pumpkin puree until smooth and creamy. Add more powdered sugar if needed to reach desired consistency.
- Frost the cooled pumpkin bars and cut into squares.
