Step 1

To prepare cake:
In a mixing bowl, beat the pumpkin, sugar and oil. Add eggs and mix well. Combine the dry ingredients and add to the pumpkin mixture, beating until well blended. Pour into a greased 10×15 inch baking pan. Bake for 25-35 minutes at 350 degrees. Cool the cake completely and then frost it with the cream cheese frosting.


To prepare icing:
