Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
-
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves until well combined. Set aside.
-
In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
-
Fold in the chopped pecans, reserving a small amount to sprinkle on top of the batter.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle the reserved toasted pecans on top.
-
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Once the cake has cooled, slice it into squares and serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
