Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or a similar-sized cake pan.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix well until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground cloves, and salt.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the pumpkin mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as it can result in a dense cake.
5. Pour the cake batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
6. In another bowl, prepare the pumpkin pie filling. Mix together the canned pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, brown sugar, egg, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
7. Pour the pumpkin pie filling over the cake batter in the baking dish, gently spreading it to cover the surface.
8. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 40-45 minutes. To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs, the cake is ready.
9. Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the baking dish for a few minutes.
10. You can serve the pumpkin pie cake warm or at room temperature. Optionally, you can dust the top with powdered sugar or serve it with whipped cream for added sweetness and flavor.

Remember to adjust the baking time if you're using a different-sized baking dish or pan, as it may affect the cooking time. Additionally, it's always a good idea to consult a specific recipe for detailed instructions and any additional steps that may be included. Enjoy your pumpkin pie cake!
