In a separate bowl, combine dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, baking soda, and nutmeg.  Mix ingredients.

Combine dry and wet mixtures.

Beat until fully mixed.

Pour the mixture into a greased pan of about 15” by 10”.

Spread until evenly distributed in pan.

Bake for 25 minutes.

While in the oven, combine frosting ingredients: butter, vanilla, cream cheese.

For a festive twist, use pumpkin spice cream cheese instead of regular.

Periodically add powdered sugar into frosting mixture as you beat it.
