2 8 oz packages cream cheese, softened to room temp
1 stick of butter, softened to room temp
Zest of half an orange
2 to 3 teaspoons milk (or substitute fresh orange juice)
1 tsp vanilla
4 cups powdered sugar (sometimes I use more if I want it stiffer)
Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 15x10x1-inch pan with PAM
In large bowl, whisk eggs, sugar, oil and pumpkin until smooth. Stir in flour, baking powder, baking soda and spices. Spread in pan.
Bake 25 to 30 minutes. Cool completely
Beat cream cheese, butter, milk (or juice) and vanilla with mixer on low speed until smooth. Gradually add in powdered sugar, a cup at a time, on low speed until smooth and spreadable.
We double dare you not to eat them all yourself!
