Paula Deen's Pumpkin Cake

I made these last night and E has already snuck into them a couple of times, haha! They're really good!

Ingredients:

Cake:
4 eggs
1 2/3 cups granulated sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
15-ounce can pumpkin [pure pumpkin, not pie mix]
2 cups sifted all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda

Icing:
8-ounce package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
2 cups sifted confectioners’ sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

2. Using an electric mixer at medium speed, combine the eggs, sugar, oil and pumpkin until light and fluffy.

3. Stir together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt and baking soda.
Add the dry ingredients to the pumpkin mixture and mix at low speed until thoroughly combined and the batter is smooth.

4. Spread the batter into a greased 13x10 inch baking pan. Bake for 30 minutes. [you might have to bake these for a little longer. Mine were not done after 30 minutes, it took more like 40-45 minutes.]

5. Let cool completely before frosting. Cut into bars.

**To make the icing:

1. Combine the cream cheese and butter in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. Add the sugar and mix at low speed until combined. Stir in the vanilla and mix again.

2. Spread on cooled pumpkin cake.
