THE BEST Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Sheet Cake
We are deep into pumpkin season! I love pumpkin cookies and pumpkin cupcakes but sometimes a slice of a classic sheet cake it just what I’m in the mood for. This pumpkin sheet cake is so good. The cake is light and super pumpkin-y and dotted with chocolate chips. And with that sweet cream cheese frosting… WOW! It’s really the perfect bite of fall. I brought this cake to a party and it was gobbled up almost before I could get a slice! I hope you love this Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Sheet Cake as much as I do!
Pumpkin Sheet Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
Pumpkin desserts and cream cheese frosting is just the perfect pairing. I’m one of those people who make pumpkin desserts in the middle of summer because I just can’t let such a great flavor go to waste December-August! Pumpkin all year long!!! Okay, okay I know most of you don’t agree with that. I haven’t been able to spend too much time in the kitchen this season because little Stella has been keeping me busy!
Easy Pumpkin Sheet Cake
Sheet cakes are such a great desserts because they aren’t fussy to make and they serve a crowd! There’s nothing more silly than spending forever making a dessert and it only feeds 10 people! Lame! This cake can feed anywhere from 24-48 people depending on how big you slice the pieces. But let’s be honest, this Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Sheet Cake is so good you might not want to share!
The Trick to Pumpkin Desserts
Just like any pumpkin dessert, this cake actually tastes even better the next day! The flavors really develop given a little time and stand out more the next morning. So this is the perfect dessert to make the night before a party. This is why most people, including myself, make our pumpkin pies for Thanksgiving the day before Thanksgiving!
I’m really sad I don’t have a slice of this to nibble on while I write this post… I need more of this pumpkin cake in my life!

How is this different than Pumpkin Bars (which I love)?
I’m with you, lets make our time count and make for a crowd.
Keep some, and give a few away!
Are you asking about a specific pumpkin bar recipe? Some pumpkin bars are just a pumpkin pie filling in bar form. This is a pumpkin CAKE!
So sweet. It’s really fantastic.

In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together the butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Try this psychedelics for sale for more details. Add the eggs one at a time and mix until combined. Beat in the vanilla until blended. Add half of the dry ingredients to the batter and mix until incorporated.
