In a mixing bowl, combine the following ingredients: 1⅔ cups of sugar, 4 eggs, 1 cup of oil. Mix these ingredients together until well combined.
Once the wet ingredients are combined, add the following dry ingredients and canned pumpkin: 2 cups of flour, 2 tsp of baking powder, 1 tsp of baking soda, 2 tsp of cinnamon, 1 can of pumpkin puree. Mix all the ingredients until you have a smooth batter.
Preheat your oven to 350°F.
Grease a baking sheet and pour the pumpkin mixture into the greased baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
In a separate bowl, combine the following ingredients: 1 cup of softened cream cheese,1 cup of softened margarine, 2½ tsp of vanilla, 1 tsp cinnamon, 2 cups of powdered sugar Mix the ingredients until you have a smooth and creamy cream cheese frosting.
Once the pumpkin squares have cooled, spread the cream cheese frosting over the top.
Make sure to use canned pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling) for the best results. It provides the rich pumpkin flavor without added spices or sweetness.
If you're in a warm environment or if the cream cheese frosting is getting too soft, you can refrigerate the pumpkin squares to set the frosting before cutting.
To get clean, even squares, use a sharp knife, and you can wipe it clean between cuts for a neater presentation.
