How to Make Ned's Pumpkin Bars
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a jelly roll pan (or a 9x13 inch pan if halving the recipe).
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and 1 ¾ 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 (or 1 ½ cups fresh cooked 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, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- 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 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bars cool completely in the pan before frosting.
- **For the Icing:** In a medium bowl, beat together ½ cup (1 stick) softened butter, 3 cups powdered sugar, and 2-4 tablespoons milk until smooth and creamy. Add more milk if needed to reach desired consistency.
- Spread the icing evenly over the cooled pumpkin bars.
- Cut into bars and enjoy!
