Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan or a deep-dish pie pan.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
In another medium-sized bowl, combine the wet ingredients: pumpkin puree, sour cream, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix to keep the texture moist and tender.
Transfer the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the baked cake cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then remove it from the pan and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack.
Optional: Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a dusting of powdered sugar on top for extra indulgence.
