How To Make pumpkin squares

  • Step 1
    SQUARES... Preheat oven to 350ºF and butter a 9x13-inch sheet cakepan. Place parchment paper large enough to have overhang on both sides and press down to coat. Butter the paper and set aside.
  • Step 2
    In a medium bowl, combine flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until blended and set aside.
  • Step 3
    In the bowl of a stand mixer, add pumpkin purée, eggs, and sugar. Using the paddle attachment, process until blended.
  • Step 4
    Add the dry ingredients and oil; process on low speed until just combined – don’t overmix it.
  • Step 5
    Spread batter evenly into the prepared cake pan and gently tap it down on the counter to dislodge any trapped air bubbles.
  • Step 6
    Transfer to the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes or until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean with just a few crumbs.
  • Step 7
    Remove from the heat and allow to cool completely on a wire rack before frosting and decorating.
  • Step 8
    CREAM CHEESE FROSTING... Cut the CREAM CHEESE FROSTING recipe in half (recipe on Club Foody website) and follow the directions.
