Pumpkin Bars


PUMPKIN BARS

4 eggs
1 2/3 cup sugar
1 cup oil
1 (16 oz) can pumpkin
2 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda

In mixing bowl, beat together egg, sugar, oil and pumpkin until light and fluffy. In a separate bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt and soda. Add to the pumpkin mixture and mix thoroughly. Spread batter in ungreased 15" x 10" pan. Also works well in cupcake tins or pumpkin-shaped tins.

Bake at 350°F for 25-30 minutes. Cool. Frost with cream cheese icing.

Cream Cheese Icing:

1 (3 oz) package of cream cheese
1/2 cup butter, softened

Cream together cheese and butter, stir in vanilla and powdered sugar a little at a time, beating until smooth. Looks festive with food coloring added to the mixture.
