Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180C. Prepare a loaf tin, grease and line it with a parchment paper.
In a wide bowl, take flour, baking powder, baking soda and all the spices together. Whisk well to combine.
In another wide bowl take pumpkin puree, add water, buttermilk and oil to this and whisk well to combine.
To this pumpkin mix, add sugar and whisk well for the sugar to dissolve well.
Now add ½ cup flour mix at a time to the wet ingredients, using a whisk mix well to get a uniform batter.
Pour the batter into the greased parchment laid loaf tin. Tap the tin to release any air.
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean.
Once done, remove the cake from the oven, let it sit in the pan for 5 minutes. Then slowly remove it with the parchment and let it sit on the wire rack to coo well.
Slice the cake and enjoy it warm. I usually leave the cake for a day on the counter. Then refrigerate the cake in an air-tight box.
If serving the cake from the refrigerator, then reheat each slice for 10-20 seconds an serve warm.

Notes
Baking temperature varies from oven to oven, so keep an eye on the bake after 30 minutes.
if you are using frozen pumpkin puree in the bake, then keep it out of the freezer and let it thaw completely before using in the bake.
