Unlike some of the other seasonal recipes I've posted, this isn't one that I ate growing up, it's someone else's favorite fall recipe. I got my hands on the recipe and I've been saving it for years, since a time way Before Pinterest. This cake is ridiculously moist and delicious (I can definitively say that this is the only recipe I've ever made with 1 full cup of vegetable oil in it) and the cream cheese frosting is the perfect accompaniment.
Some notes on the recipe - I had to use a smaller pan than a regular jelly roll pan so these came out thicker than they normally would. Also the frosting recipe originally called for 4 cups of confectioner's sugar but I only added 3 and thought it was plenty, so I would recommend that you taste as you go.
