Ingredients

6 large eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
2/3 cup pumpkin puree
2 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp kosher salt
2 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground cardamom
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1 cans (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
1 cans (12 oz) evaporated milk
3 cups heavy cream
3 tbsp powdered sugar

Steps

Heat the oven to 350 F and grease a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with cooking oil.
Beat the eggs and granulated sugar until thick, then mix in the pumpkin puree and vanilla extract.
Whisk the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves, then fold them into the batter.
Bake the cake for 35 minutes, until the center springs back when lightly pressed.
Cool the cake in the pan for 30 minutes, poke holes across it, and pour over the condensed milk, evaporated milk, and 1 cup heavy cream.
Chill the cake for 7 hours, then whip the remaining 2 cups heavy cream with powdered sugar and spread it over the cake.
