  • 1/2 teaspoon ginger

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a jelly roll pan or a 9×13 inch pan for thicker bars.

In a large bowl, combine sugar, oil, eggs and pumpkin. Beat 1 minute on high.

Add cake mix and spices. Blend until moistened. Beat 2 minutes on high.

Pour into prepared pan.

Bake at 350 degrees for 25-35 minutes or until a toothpick in the center comes out clean.
