Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, sugar, vegetable oil, and eggs until smooth and well combined.

In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Let the cake cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before serving.

Optional: Dust with powdered sugar or spread cream cheese frosting on top for extra flavor.
