2. – In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin, eggs, sugar, oil, and vanilla until well combined.
3. – In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt.
4. – Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients just until no dry pockets remain. Do not overmix.
5. – Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-55 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Notes
– For a prettier presentation, reserve a few tablespoons of the batter and dollop it on top of the loaf before baking.
– Add 1 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans for extra texture and flavor.
– Swap out the oil for melted butter for a richer crumb.
– Dust the top with powdered sugar or drizzle with a simple cream cheese glaze.
