Time 2h10m

Yield 24 bars

Number Of Ingredients 19

Nonstick baking spray, for the baking pan
2 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
4 large eggs
One 15-ounce can pumpkin puree
8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • For the bars: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 13-by-9-inch metal baking pan with nonstick baking spray and line the bottom and sides with parchment paper, leaving an inch of overhang on the sides.
  • Whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, ginger, salt, nutmeg and cloves in a large bowl until evenly combined. In another bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, oil, vanilla, eggs and pumpkin puree until smooth. Pour the pumpkin mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until the batter just comes together.
  • Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Let the cake cool for 30 minutes in the pan, then unmold and let cool completely on a wire rack.
  • For the icing: Combine the cream cheese and butter in a medium bowl and beat on medium speed with a handheld mixer until smooth. Add the confectioners' sugar, vanilla and salt and beat until evenly combined and smooth. Spread the icing on the top of the cake in a smooth and even layer. Cut the cake into twenty-four 2-inch squares and serve.

Provided by Dine Dish

Categories     Dessert

Time 45m

Yield 12-24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 large eggs
1 2/3 cups white sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
6 ounces cream cheese
6 tablespoons butter, softened
3 cups confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Grease and flour one glass 9 x 13 inch pan.
  • In a mixing bowl, beat together the eggs, sugar, oil and pumpkin.
  • Sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda, salt and cinnamon; add to wet ingredients and mix thoroughly.
  • Spread into prepared pan.
  • Bake at 350° for 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and allow to cool.
  • For the frosting: beat together the cream cheese, butter and confectioner's sugar.
  • Evenly spread over bars after they have cooled.

Tips:

- For the perfect pumpkin puree, it's best to use fresh pumpkin. Simply cut a pumpkin in half, scoop out the seeds, and roast it in the oven until tender. Then, blend the roasted pumpkin until smooth. - If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can easily make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using. - Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the bars tough. Just mix until the ingredients are well combined. - For gooey cream cheese icing, use softened cream cheese and butter. Beat them together until smooth and creamy, then add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. - To make the bars extra special, top them with chopped pecans or walnuts before baking.

Conclusion:

These pumpkin bars with cream cheese icing are the perfect fall treat. They're moist, flavorful, and easy to make. With a few simple tips, you can make sure your bars turn out perfectly every time. So, grab a pumpkin and get baking!
