-Fold dry ingredients into wet ingredients.
-Pour mixture into a large jelly roll pan.
-Bake at 350 degrees for 25-35 minutes.

Frosting
-Blend softened cream cheese (my mom always recommends letting it sit out over night) and butter together.
-Add vanilla
-Add Powdered sugar

***The frosting recipe is flexible. You can add more cream cheese and/or sugar to get the consistency you want. Also if it is too thick add just a splash of milk.

After cake has cooled, frost and slice into bars.

Makes about 50 square inch bars. Great for Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas!

***You can also use this recipe to actually make a jelly roll cake, but the bars are MUCH easier.

    Very good! Don't have a jelly roll pan, so, I baked it as a cake in a 9x13. Took about an extra 10 minutes to bake. I also added raisins to it, YUM! Never made frosting before, but, next time, will either buy the frosting or use a dollop of cool whip on top! - 10/15/11
