2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoons baking soda

soften butter, sugar, pumpkin, and walnuts
together.
In another bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda,
baking powder, salt, cinnamon, allspice, and

or grease and flour.
Pour the batter into the
pan and smooth until it is level.
Bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool on a wire rack in the pan.

paper and lift the cake onto cutting board.
Frost the cake.
Cut it into bars to serve.
