Pumpkin Bars


Pumpkin Bars ~from My Kitchen Cafe

Bars:
4 eggs
1 2/3 cups granulated sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
15-ounce can pumpkin
2 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda

Icing:
8-ounce package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup butter, softened
2 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preheat the oven to 350. Using an electric mixer at medium speed, combine the eggs, sugar, oil and pumpkin until light and fluffy. Add flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and baking soda. Mix at low speed until thoroughly combined and the batter is smooth. Spread the batter into a greased 13 by 10-ince baking pan (I used a cookie sheet so they were not as thick). Bake for 30 minutes (I only did 20 in a baking sheet). Let cool completely before frosting.

To make the icing: Combine the cream cheese and butter in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. Add the sugar and mix at low speed until combined. Stir in the vanilla and mix again. Spread on pumkin bars.

ENJOY!!!

Angie, that was AWESOME. And now I know why the frosting was so good. you use twice the butter that I do. However I think I'm going to start using your recipe. You don't expect cream cheese frosting to be low calories, right? So why not go all in? Thanks for the recipe!
