Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan with butter or cooking spray. Dust with flour.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, blend together the wet ingredients: pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla extract, orange zest, and orange juice until smooth.
- Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth it out with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Dust with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.

Notes
For an even brighter flavor, consider adding more orange zest to the mixture. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-5 days, or freeze for longer preservation.
