Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup vegetable or canola oil
  • 15 ounces pumpkin puree
  • 4 eggs (room temperature)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup butter (for icing)
  • 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking.
  2. Combine the granulated sugar, oil, pumpkin puree, and eggs in a large bowl. Beat until well blended and smooth.

  4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
  5. Pour the batter into a greased 10 x 15 inch pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
