Pumpkin Texas Sheet Cake

My twin sister made this cake for a church luncheon yesterday and it's very good. Plus, it feeds a lot of people and it's easy...the very best of all worlds! Thankfully, there was a bit left so I'm having some right now with a cup of tea:

My sister tinted the frosting orange and used orange sprinkles on top, but you can use whatever pleases you and whatever you have on hand. Here's the recipe:
 

Pumpkin Texas Sheet Cake

 
Mix well (in large bowl):
1 1/2 cup sugar
1 15-oz. can pumpkin
1 cup oil
4 eggs
 
Combine and gradually add to pumpkin mixture:
2 cups flour
2 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. cloves
 
Pour batter into a greased 15" x 10" x 1" pan (I use my large jelly roll pan). Bake for 20-25 minutes at 350 degrees
 

Frosting

Beat until smooth:
1 8-oz. package cream cheese
1/2 cup butter, softened
2 tsp. vanilla
 
 
Add:
4 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1-2 T. milk if you want it a bit thinner (optional)
several drops food coloring, if desired
 
Frost cooled cake. Cover top with sugar sprinkles, if desired.
