  • 14 cups Pumpkin Puree
  • ¼ cup + 3 tablespoons Ground Cinnamon

  • 3 cups + ½ cup Vegetable Oil
  • 2 ¼ tablespoons Baking Powder
  • 2 ¼ tablespoons Baking Soda
  • 10 cups + ½ cup Light Brown Sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Salt

Directions

  1. Heat the oven to 350°F. Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 14 cups flour, 2 ¼ tablespoons baking soda, 2 ¼ tablespoons baking powder, ¼ cup + 3 tablespoons cinnamon, 2 ¼ tablespoons ginger, 1 tablespoon nutmeg, and 1 tablespoon salt.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk 14 cups pumpkin puree, 10 cups + ½ cup brown sugar, 28 Eggs, 3 cups + ½ cup oil, and ¼ cup + ¾ tablespoon vanilla until smooth.
  4. Fold the dry ingredients into the pumpkin mixture until no dry streaks remain. Don't overmix.
  5. Spread the batter evenly in the pan. Bake for 28 to 32 minutes, until a toothpick in the center comes out clean.
  6. Let the cake cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes.
  7. To make the glaze, beat 1 ¾ pounds cream cheese until smooth, then beat in 7 cups powdered sugar. Add the milk ¾ cup + 2 tablespoons at a time until the glaze drizzles easily, then stir in 1 tablespoon vanilla.
  8. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake and cut it into 9 squares.
