Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, beat the melted butter, eggs, pumpkin puree, sour cream, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully incorporated.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together with a spatula or wooden spoon until no dry patches of flour remain. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
