Ingredients to Make Pumpkin Spice Sheet Cake
I love making sheet cakes because of how easy they are to make! In fact, you probably have all of these ingredients already in your pantry so go ahead and get baking! See the recipe card below for a list of exact measurements.
- Sugar: This is used to give it a sweet flavor!
- Pumpkin puree: Don’t get this confused with pumpkin pie filling! pumpkin puree should be the only ingredient listed on the can!
- Canola oil: If you don’t have canola oil on hand then you can use vegetable oil instead.
- Eggs: I like to use eggs that are at room temperature.
- Flour: I use all purpose flour in this recipe.
- Baking powder: I used this to make the cake fluffy!
- Ground cinnamon: You can’t have a pumpkin recipe without delicious cinnamon flavor!
- Baking soda: This will help your cake to rise.
- Salt: This is used to enhance the flavor of all of the ingredients.
- Ground cloves: These will bring in a deep, earthy flavor.
Cream Cheese Frosting
- Cream cheese: Soften your cream chees to room temperature before mixing it in.
- Butter: I use unsalted butter in this recipe!
- Vanilla extract: This will add a hint of flavor to the sweet taste.
