Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves.
  3. In another bowl, beat together butter and pumpkin until fluffy. Add sugar and mix until smooth.
  4. Add eggs and vanilla to the mixture and blend until well-combined.
  5. Gradually combine dry ingredients into wet ingredients, alternating with milk, until mixed.
  6. Make the crumb topping by mixing cold butter, brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon until crumbly.
  7. Layer half of the batter in the prepared dish, top with half of the crumbs, add remaining batter, and finish with crumbs.
  8. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool for 10-15 minutes.
  9. Serve warm or at room temperature, possibly with whipped cream.
