1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

Directions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger.
In another bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, eggs, and sugar until smooth.
Add the milk and vanilla extract to the wet ingredients and stir until combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined and no flour streaks remain.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
In a small bowl, mix together the 2 tablespoons of sugar and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, then sprinkle over the top of the batter.
