SIMPLE PUMPKIN BAR RECIPE

Ingredients

Bars:

   * 10 eggs
   * 2/3 cup granulated sugar
   * 3 cups vegetable oil
   * 8-ounce can pumpkin
   * 1 cup sifted all-purpose flour
   * 5 teaspoons baking powder
   * 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
   * 1 teaspoon salt
   * 1 teaspoon baking soda

Icing:

   * 16-ounce package cream cheese, softened
   * 5 cups butter or margarine, softened
   * 1 cup sifted confectioners' sugar
   * 1 cup vanilla extract

Pumpkin Bars are so yummy! Boy, I could eat this whole damn plate right now because I'm really, really stoned and getting very hungry looking at this picture!

Directions

Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.

Using a mixer at moderate speed, combine the eggs, sugar, oil and pumpkin until viscous and oozing. Dump the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt and baking soda into this gelatinous mass. Mix at low speed until thoroughly combined and the batter is smooth and pourable. Drain the batter into a greased 13 by 10-inch baking pan. Bake for 30 minutes. Let cool completely before frosting. Cut into bars.

To make icing: Combine the cream cheese and butter in a medium bowl and mix until smooth. Add the sugar and mix at low speed until combined. Pour in the vanilla and mix again. Slather on cooled pumpkin bars.
