This Pumpkin Sheet Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting is an easy, delicious, moist pumpkin cake with a cream cheese frosting that the whole family will love. Tastes as good or better than the famous Pumpkin Roll Cake without the hassle of rolling the cake.

Pumpkin Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

For Thanksgiving a couple of years ago I decided it was time to tackle make the famous Pumpkin Cake Roll. I chatted with my online foodie friends to get all the necessary tips for successfully rolling the pumpkin cake.

Pumpkin Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

With all my handy tips from my friends I bake the cake in the oven. No problem with that. However, when it came time to roll the cake….EPIC FAIL.  I tried all the tricks. The cake broke…not just cracked but broke into about three pieces. So as any good foodie does when a recipe does not work out, we turn it into something else. That year we had the BEST pumpkin trifle you ever had in your life (made from that failed pumpkin roll cake).

Why do I tell this story? It was because of that event that this year I decided not to mess with a cake roll, just bake a cake. It tastes just as good. It is easier to make, and easier to serve, and tastes great…and everyone is happy.Win. Win. Win.

When people think of a sheet cake they usually think of a cake in a 10 x 15 pan. However, you can also bake it in a 9×13 pan like I did for a taller cake. Just bake it for about 35 to 40 minutes instead of 25 to 30 minutes.  Either way, it tastes delicious.

So why did I make this Pumpkin Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting unrolled?  Because that’s just how I roll. 🙂

Now it’s your turn. When are you going to make this yummy Pumpkin Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting?
