It’s fall, which means pumpkin-spiced everything, harvest, football and get-togethers. For our family, fall is a pretty hectic time on the farm, but it’s also a time when we have the most visitors. Late summer through fall is the best time to visit the farm because of all the harvest activity and the abundance of fruit that our guests get to pick and take home. It’s also a time for me to spend in the kitchen to make sure our visitors don’t leave hungry. I always like to provide a sweet treat for them and this Pumpkin Spice Sheet Cake with Bourbon Cream Cheese Frosting hits the mark!

This sheet cake is so easy to make and requires minimal effort, which is good because harvest time is so busy for us! My Farmer is usually working around the clock and now I have one daughter in school and sports so anything easy, yet tasty is a winner in my book! And this Pumpkin Spice Sheet Cake is a complete winner, trust me. Easy to make but oh-so-tasty!
