A co-worker of mine posted this on her Facebook page (thanks Lish) and I thought it looked pretty darn good and asked her if she wanted me to make it for work...well of course she did...so I did!.. and it was sooo good. Many raves about how it had just the right pumpkin flavor and one even said she would prefer it over pumpkin pie ..what?? Well I dunno about that!..but ..it was pretty darn good and of course the cream cheese frosting makes it oh so yummy. This recipe came from eatathomecooks.com.
Ingredients
16 oz can pumpkin (not pie filling)
2 cups sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
4 eggs, beaten
2 cups flour
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/2 salt
In a mixing bowl, beat the pumpkin, sugar and oil until well blended. Add eggs and mix well again. Combine the dry ingredients and add to the pumpkin mixture, beating until well blended. Pour into a greased cookie sheet (10x15 inch). Bake for 25-35 mins at 350 degrees.
Cream Cheese Frosting:
5 Tbsp butter, softened
3 oz cream cheese, softened
1 tsp vanilla
1 3/4 cups powdered sugar
3-4 tsp milk
chopped nuts for the top, if desired
(I didn't measure any of the frosting ingreds but that is what it called for)
Beat the butter and cream cheese together. Add the vanilla and blend till smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and mix well. Add the milk a bit at a time until you get it to a spreadable consistency. I also sprinkled a little bit of pumpkin pie spice on top for looks because I didn't put nuts on due to allergies.
