I love sheet cake. I love pumpkin. I love cream cheese frosting. This cake has the best of those three: pumpkin sheet cake with cream cheese frosting.
This pumpkin cake is light and fluffy. I even used less oil than the original recipe called for. The cake is topped off with cream cheese frosting (which is my kids' favorite part).
This cake is perfect to take to a party, potluck, or to share with your neighbors. It makes a lot since it's a sheet cake. Or you could half the recipe and bake it in a 9x13 pan instead.
