Recipe - Eggnog Pumpkin Bars

1 cn (29 oz) pumpkin
8 Beaten eggs
2 cup Eggnog
4 cup All purpose flour
3 cup Granulated sugar
5 teaspoon Baking powder
2 teaspoon Baking soda
One half teaspoon Salt
6 teaspoon Cinnamon
1 teaspoon Cardamom
1 teaspoon Allspice
1 teaspoon Cloves
1 teaspoon Nutmeg
One half teaspoon Ginger
1 teaspoon Vanilla

BUTTER CREAM FROSTING
3 Cubes butter
1 pack (8 oz) cream cheese
1 teaspoon Vanilla
1 tablespoon Brandy; (optional)
3 cup Powdered sugar; (up to 4 C
seems ok).

Preheat oven to 350. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, soda, salt and
spices in large bowl. In another bowl, beat eggs, add eggnog, pumpkin and
vanilla and blend thoroughly with electric mixer; stir into flour mixture
and blend well with mixer ( I mix on high for a minute or so). Pour mixture
into 2 greased 15x10x1 pans. Bake at 350 for 2025 minutes, depending on
how fast your oven is (start testing at 1820 min.). Let cool completely
and frost with butter cream frosting.

Butter Cream Frosting: Soften butter and cream cheese (near melted) and
cream together with vanilla and brandy. Add sugar one C at a time until
mixed in, then beat with electric mixer until fluffy. Frost and enjoy!

This is not a lowfat, lowcholesterol delight, but a delight it is. Have
gotten rave reviews wherever I've taken it this holiday season. And don't
think this is too large a quantity; they will disappear in a heartbeat.
