Magnolia Monday: Pumpkin Bars with Cream Cheese Icing
Amy Faries • Mar 03, 2020
Fluffy pumpkin cake with a tangy cream cheese icing topped with some fun and festive sprinkles!
Ok, so Magnolia Bakery really outdid themselves with this one! This is seriously the perfect soft and fluffy texture. The bars are not too sweet so the addition of the tang from the cream cheese is very welcoming. This is also such an easy recipe to follow that literally anyone can make this! My one qualm would be that this is more of a cakey texture than that of a bar. When I think of a bar of think of a thick square that is rather dense and chewy. These bars are more square cake slices with a fluffy and moist texture (that I have no problem with at all). I also decided to omit the toasted pecans because my designated test tester has an allergy to nuts. You can find this recipe on Page 72 of the magnolia bakery cookbook under "Pumpkin bars with Cream Cheese Icing".
I really loved the ease of baking this in the 9 x 13 dish then just spreading the icing all over without having to worry about it being perfect. I figured that the addition of these awesome sprinkles from Wilton would really add a fun and festive fall element to these delicious pumpkin bars.
I mean come on! Look at how perfectly moist and fluffy this piece is! Let me tell you it was absolutely delicious too. Buy
