Steps:
- 1. Set oven to 350. Lightly spray a 9" x 13" baking pan w/ cooking spray. In lg mixing bowl, using mixer, blend first 10 ingredients until smooth.

- 3. Let cake completely cool. In medium sized bowl, blend frosting, pumpkin and maple flavoring until smooth. Frost cake. Sprinkle with the sprinkles, cut into whatever size bars you want. and enjoy with a hot cup of coffee, maybe pumpkin spice? YUM!
