  • 1 scant teaspoon salt · 1 cup vegetable oil
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg (ground) · 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

For the cake:

  2. Preheat the oven to 350º F. Butter and flour a 15-by-10-inch sheet cake pan.
  3. In a medium bowl combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, and ginger. Stir to blend thoroughly. Set aside.
  4. In a mixing bowl with an electric mixer, beat the eggs, pumpkin puree, sugar, oil, and vanilla extract together until well blended.
  5. Add the flour mixture and mix on low speed until smooth and well blended.
  6. Spread the batter in the prepared baking pan.
  7. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the cake springs back when pressed lightly with a finger.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan.

Prepare the frosting:

  1. Gather the ingredients.
  2. Melt the 10 tablespoons of butter in a heavy pan over medium-low heat. Continue cooking, stirring, just until the butter turns a deep golden brown. Immediately pour into a mixing bowl and refrigerate for about 20 to 30 minutes, or just until solidified but still somewhat soft.
  3. Mix the cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy. Mix in the vanilla extract. Gradually mix in the confectioner’s sugar until you have a soft frosting for piping.
  4. Pipe frosting on each one. Serve and enjoy!
