How to Make Pumpkin Bars With Cream Cheese Icing
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 15x10x1 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, beat 2 large eggs until light and fluffy.
- Add 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, and 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree to the beaten eggs. Mix well until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, and 1/2 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 25-30 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 8 ounces cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Add 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened unsalted butter and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat until well combined.
- Gradually add 3 cups powdered sugar, beating until the icing reaches your desired consistency. Add more powdered sugar if needed.
- Spread the icing evenly over the cooled pumpkin bars.
- Cut into bars and enjoy!
