Could you possibly bake this cake in a 13 by 9 inch cake pan?

Vermont Spice Cake
Winter in Vermont means snowbound days good for baking. But you don't have
to live in Vermont to enjoy this spicy, maple-flavored cake crowned with
an icy cream cheese frosting sprinkled with chopped nuts.
Prep: 22 min
Cooking: 35 min
Cooling time: 25 min cooling
Yields: 12
CAKE
3 cups all-purpose flour
3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter, softened
3 large eggs
1 1/2 cups LIBBY'S 100% Pure Pumpkin
1/2 cup NESTLE CARNATION Evaporated Milk
1/4 cup water
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
MAPLE FROSTING
11 ozs. cream cheese (an 8-oz pkg plus a 3-oz pkg), softened
1/3 cup butter, softened
3 1/2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
2 teaspoons maple flavoring*
1/2 cup chopped nuts and nut halves (optional)
PREHEAT oven to 325 F. Grease and flour two 9-inch-round cake pans.
FOR CAKE
COMBINE flour, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, nutmeg and
salt in small bowl. Beat sugar and butter in large mixer bowl until
creamy. Add eggs; beat for 2 minutes. Beat in pumpkin, evaporated milk,
water and vanilla extract. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Spread evenly
into prepared cake pans.
BAKE for 35 to 40 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in center comes
out clean. Cool in pans on wire racks for 15 minutes; remove to wire racks
to cool completely.
FOR MAPLE FROSTING
BEAT cream cheese, butter and powdered sugar in large mixer bowl until
fluffy. Add maple flavoring; mix well.
TO ASSEMBLE
CUT each cake in half horizontally with long, serrated knife. Frost
between layers and on top of cake, leaving sides unfrosted. Garnish with
nuts, if desired.
NOTE:
To make a 2-layer cake, frost between layers, over top and on sides of
cake.
*3 teaspoons maple flavoring are suggested for a stronger maple flavor.
