Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups brown sugar, packed
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoons baking soda
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoons ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 4 large eggs
- 1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree
- 0.5 cups vegetable oil
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract (for frosting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch sheet pan with nonstick spray or line with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and salt until evenly combined.
In another bowl, beat the eggs, pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, unsalted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared sheet pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Remove from the oven and allow the cake to cool completely in the pan.
While the cake is cooling, prepare the cream cheese frosting. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and unsalted butter together until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Add the milk and vanilla extract, and beat until the frosting is light and fluffy.
Once the cake is completely cooled, spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the top of the cake using an offset spatula or butter knife.
Cut the cake into squares and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
