Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Brush bottom and sides of an 8-by-12-inch cake pan with butter. Line bottom with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on 2 sides. Brush parchment with butter.
- Whisk together flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, cloves, salt, baking powder, and baking soda; set aside. In a separate bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree and milk; set aside
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat sugar and butter together until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add eggs, and beat until combined. On low speed add flour mixture in three batches, alternating with two additions of pumpkin mixture, and beating until just combined after each.
- Pour batter into prepared pan, smooth top with spatula. Bake until a cake tester inserted into the middle comes out clean, about 35 minutes. Transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Make Frosting: In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat cream cheese, 1/4 cup butter, and pinch of salt until light and creamy, 2 minutes. Reduce mixer speed to low. Gradually add confectioners' sugar, beating until incorporated.
- Assemble: Unmold cake. Using an offset spatula, spread icing over top of cake. Cut into 12 bars.
Tips:
- Use fresh or canned pumpkin: Fresh pumpkin will give your bars a more intense pumpkin flavor, but canned pumpkin is a convenient option that works just as well.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your bars tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the bars until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the bars are cooked through.
- Let the bars cool completely before frosting them: This will help the frosting to set properly.
- Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days: You can also freeze the bars for up to 2 months.
