Pumpkin Spice Bars

Even when I'm not pregnant I crave these bars! But the craving has been ten fold lately! I think I'm going to whip some up tonight! These are amazing!

4 eggs
2 cups sugar
1 cup oil
1 16 oz. can of pumpkin
2 cups flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Beat together the eggs, sugar, oil and pumpkin. Then stir in the flour, baking powder, baking soda and cinnamon. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes.

Once the cake has cooled you can frost with the cream cheese frosting. Recipe follows.

3 oz. cream cheese
1/4 cup + 2 T. butter
1 tsp. vanilla
2-3 cups powdered sugar

Mix the cream cheese and butter together till well blended then slowly add the remaining ingredients, until you reach your desired consistency.

Frost your cake and sprinkle with the walnuts (if desired). We have found these bars keep best if they are refrigerated!

This is definitely a recipe to get you excited for fall! I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do! Yum!!!!!!
