Preparation Steps
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12x17 inch rimmed baking sheet or line with parchment paper.

- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars.

For a delicious cream cheese frosting, mix together 8 oz cream cheese, 1/4 cup softened butter, 2 cups powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth, then spread over cooled bars.
