Pumpkin Bars
***BARS*** 2 cups Flour 2 cups Sugar 2 teaspoons Baking Powder 1 teaspoon Baking Soda 1 teaspoon Cinnamon -- ground 1 teaspoon Nutmeg -- ground 1/2 teaspoon Cloves -- ground 1/2 teaspoon Salt 1 cup Vegetable Oil 16 ounces Pumpkin, canned 4 medium Eggs ***FROSTING*** 2 cups Powdered Sugar 1/3 cup Butter or Margarine -- softened 1 package Cream Cheese -- (3 oz.), softened 1 tablespoon Milk 1 teaspoon Vanilla
Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease 15 x 10 inch jelly roll pan. In large bowl, blend all bar ingredients at low speed until moistened. Beat 2 minutes at medium speed. Pour into prepared pan. Bake at 350 degrees F for 25 to 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool.
In small bowl, combine frosting ingredients; beat until smooth. Spread over cooled bars.
(You can successfully freeze these bars by allowing them to completely cool, then placing them inside zip baggies, then removing all of the air inside the baggies, using a drinking straw to suck it out. They are great to freeze in small baggies for individual servings, but can also be frozen in large baggies for larger groups.)
