Pumpkin Sheet Cake – yummy dessert for a crowd (or in my case, 3 people, a weekend and a spoon).
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, if you are a cheater, just buy cream cheese frosting and add a couple tablespoons of maple syrup! Easy and why not!
If you need a bit more pumpkin and who doesnt? Try my Pumpkin Crunch Muffins!
Have a great week guys!

I love sheet cakes. I bet this pumpkin one is so moist and delightful! Love the maple frosting too.
I just made this today. And there are two pieces left! IT WAS SOOOO GOOD! OMG! This is one great recipe. Thank you so much. I also made the Italian chicken as well which was yummy too! I WILL be making this again for just me and probably for thanksgiving as well.
My phone is malfunctioning and won’t let me rate it but I give it 5+ stars!
Wow! Thank you for the rave reviews! I want to try coconut sheet cake next, they are so easy to make! Have a glorious day!
Please tell me how much a CUBE of butter is? Thank you.
half a cup!
What size can of pumpkin?
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!
