Labor Day has come and gone, which only means one thing: Fall is here! Okay, fine, the first official day of fall isn’t for a few more weeks. But Pumpkin Spice Lattes are back, and therefore it’s autumn. Facts are facts!

If you count down the days until you can visit the pumpkin patch, bake apple pies, and plan out your Halloween costume, then you’re in good company. In fact, you fall-ready folks are the inspiration behind the first-ever Pioneer Woman Recipe of the Month. It’s…drumroll, please…

If you’ve made Ree’s chocolate version before, then you already know the beauty and ease of a sheet cake. This one is especially delicious—mostly because of the cream cheese frosting. In fact, you can double the frosting recipe if you want a thicker layer. (And who doesn’t want that…)

Let’s get to it people! Start baking up those pumpkin sheet cakes (get the recipe here) and share the photos of your creations in the comments below for the chance to be featured on ThePioneerWomanMag’s Instagram. We can’t wait to see your photos!
