How to Make Pumpkin Bars From A Cake Mix

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 15x8 inch jelly roll pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine one 15.25-ounce box of spice cake mix, one 15-ounce can of pumpkin puree, two large eggs, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg. Beat with an electric mixer for 3 minutes, until well combined.
  3. Pour batter into the prepared jelly roll pan and spread evenly.
  4. Bake for 23-25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  5. Let the bars cool completely in the pan before frosting.
  6. Once cooled, frost only the portion of the bars you plan to serve immediately with your favorite cream cheese glaze. This dessert doesn't keep well once glazed.
  7. Store unfrosted bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
