- 1¾ cups unsweetened pumpkin puree
- 1 cup canola or vegetable oil
- 4 large eggs
- 1½ cups granulated white sugar
- ½ cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- ¾ cup mini chocolate chips
- 8 ounces cream cheese, (at room temperature)
- 4 tablespoons butter, (at room temperature)
- 2 teaspoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 cups powdered sugar, (measured then sifted)
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips, (for sprinkling on top)
Steps
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 10x15-inch baking pan with nonstick spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin, oil, eggs and sugars until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flours, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, ginger and cloves. Toss in the mini chocolate chips and stir to combine. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir until moistened.
Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan. Bake until the center springs back when lightly pressed in the center- 25 to 30 minutes. Remove and place on a wire rack to cool completely.
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together the cream cheese, butter, milk and vanilla. Slowly add the powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, and mix until smooth. Frost the bars and sprinkle with additional mini chocolate chips.
