Pumpkin Bars

These yummy bars from my friend, Susie, really hit the spot once September rolls around and everyone starts craving pumpkin everything. Yum!

4 eggs
1 c. cooking oil
1 2/3 c. sugar
1 can (15 oz.) pumpkin
2 c. flour
2 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. baking soda
½ tsp. salt
        Beat together eggs, sugar, oil, and pumpkin until light and fluffy. Stir together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt and baking soda. Add to pumpkin mixture and mix thoroughly. Spread batter in an ungreased jelly roll pan. Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes. Cool. Frost with cream cheese icing (recipe below) and cut into bars.

Cream cheese icing:
1 cube butter, softened
4 oz. cream cheese, softened
1 tsp. vanilla
1/8 tsp. salt
2-3 c. powdered sugar
        Combine butter and cream cheese until creamy. Stir in vanilla and salt. Add 2 cups powdered sugar and mix well. Add additional powdered sugar, up to 1 cup more, to attain a fluffy frosting consistency.
