Instructions 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 15x10-inch jelly roll pan.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil. Mix until well combined.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the pumpkin puree.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared jelly roll pan and spread it evenly.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool completely in the pan.
  • In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and unsalted butter until creamy and smooth.
  • Gradually add the powdered sugar, and mix until well combined. Add milk and vanilla extract, and mix until smooth and spreadable.
  • Once the pumpkin bars have cooled, spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the top. Cut into bars and serve.
