Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375&# 194;°F (190ðC). Grease and flour an 11x17-inch jelly roll pan.
  2. In a large bowl, beat eggs, vegetable oil, and sugar until well blended and smooth.
  3. Stir in the solid pack pumpkin and mix thoroughly until combined.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the pumpkin mixture, mixing until just smooth and no dry streaks remain.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared jelly roll pan, spreading it evenly.
  7. Bake for 20 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Remove from oven and allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before frosting.
  9. While the cake cools, make the frosting: In a medium bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
  10. Add softened butter to the cream cheese and mix until smooth and combined.
  11. Stir in whole milk and vanilla extract.
  12. Gradually add powdered sugar, beating until the frosting is smooth, thick, and spreadable.

  14. Cut into squares and serve immediately.
