- 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoons ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cloves
- 1 cup granulated sugar

- 1.5 cups pumpkin puree

Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves until well combined. Set aside.
Step 3
In another large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and melted butter until smooth.
Step 4
Add the pumpkin puree, eggs, and vanilla extract to the sugar mixture, whisking until fully combined.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until incorporated. Do not overmix.
Step 6
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Step 8
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Optionally, frost the cake with cream cheese frosting or dust with powdered sugar before serving.
