Best Pumpkin Bars Ever

Seriously.  They are one of my most requested dessert recipes and no fall season is complete without several pans of them!

-3/4 cups butter
-2 cups sugar
-1 can pumpkin
-4 eggs
-2 cups flour
-2 tsp. baking powder
-2 tsp. ground cinnamon
-1/2 tsp. baking soda
-1/2 tsp. salt
-1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg

Mix butter and sugar until fluffy.  Add pumpkin and eggs.  In a separate bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg.  Slowly add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture.  Spread into a greased and floured 15x10x1 baking pan.  Bake at 350 for 30 minutes and let cool before frosting. 

Frosting

-1 package cream cheese, softened
-1/3 cup butter
-1 tsp. vanilla
-3 cups powdered sugar

Mix cream cheese, butter, and vanilla in a large bowl until creamy.  Gradually add sugar, mixing well after each addition.  Spread on cooled pumpkin bars.
