Pumpkin Sheet Cake! This super delicious cake is great for a crowd and is super easy to make. Don’t wait until the holidays to make this fabulous cake!
I love that sheet cakes are so popular again. Who has time to bake up a couple layers and decorate? I can almost guarentee that you will never see a fancy schmancy cake on my site. I don’t have the patience or the talent…but sheet cakes? I can do that!
The frosting is butter, cream cheese and real maple syrup. But you guys know how we roll. We cheat. You can buy a can of cream cheese frosting , add a couple tablespoons of maple syrup and call it good!
We love cake and you can see all of our easy to make recipes HERE!

Hi JoAnn,
This recipe calls for one cup or 8 oz of pumpkin puree. A small can will do and you will have some leftover. Put it in a baggie and freeze for the next time!
