Recipe: Frosted Pumpkin Cake Squares
Here’s a good fall recipe to try I found in a Good Housekeeping magazine a few years ago. If you like pumpkin, you’ll love these and they are easy to make.
Frosted Pumpkin Squares
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 cup canned pumpkin
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup flour
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
Frosting
3/4 cup confectioners’ sugar
1/4 cup cream cheese
2 tbsp. butter
1/2 tsp. vanilla
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease 9″ square pan. Prepare cake: In bowl, with mixer at medium speed, beat sugar and eggs 2 minutes. Beat in pumpkin and oil. At low speed, add flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt; beat 1 minute. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake 25-30 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool pumpkin cake in pan on wire rack.
Prepare frosting: In bowl, with mixer at low speed, beat confectioners’ sugar and remaining ingredients 2 minutes, or until fluffy; use to frost cake.
Enjoy!
