Pumpkin Cake/Bars

I love this time of year and one thing I love about it is pumpkin. I LOVE pumpkin. I have pumpkin creamer for my coffee, I've made pumpkin muffins (which weren't that good), made pumpkin pie, and now this pumpkin cake. This was my first time making them, I made them for my stepdaughter and her husband for our special Thanksgiving. They couldn't join us for Thanksgiving day so we had a special Thanksgiving the Saturday after. They loved the cake. And my stepdaughter doesn't like pumpkin. But it has the slightest pumpkin flavor, she loved it. So I thought what a great recipe to share to all of you!!

I have no clue where the recipe came from since I got it from my mom and she's had it for so long she doesn't remember.

I have to say this, I had to make this into a cake since I don't own a jelly roll pan. My mom however does and hers are normally "bar" size.
