So even though it still feels like summer outside and I don’t
really want the warm weather to end, I’m totally ready for pumpkin everything.
After sharing this Pumpkin
Cheesecake on Monday, I’ve now got this delicious Pumpkin Sheet Cake
for you and I’m not even sorry about all the pumpkin. In fact, I feel like I’ve
been holding back for weeks. Bring on the pumpkin!
When the cake has baked and cooled, it’s covered in a light
cinnamon cream cheese frosting. It’s just the right amount of frosting to not
overwhelm the cake and it all goes perfectly together! I’m so excited to have
this cake in my back pocket for gatherings when I need something quick and
tasty! I hope you love it too!
