Pumpkin Sheet Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

I realized despite the fact that I have made this over 10x in the last year since Brea found this recipe I have yet to share it...and it is one of my favorites! To be truthful every time I decide that I want to make it it is a long process to actually find the recipe again so this will be nice to have it in my "collection." This recipe is super easy and yummy, I love how it makes so many-perfect for potlucks, parties, or just eating at home :)

Pumpkin Sheet Cake
Recipe came from Eat At Home

In a mixing bowl, beat the pumpkin, sugar and oil. Add eggs and mix well. Combine the dry ingredients and add to the pumpkin mixture, beating until well blended. Pour into a greased 10×15 inch baking pan. Bake for 25-35 minutes at 350 degrees.

Cool the cake completely and then frost it with the cream cheese frosting.
