Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with nonstick spray or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. Mix thoroughly.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
While the cake cools, prepare the cream cheese frosting: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth and fluffy.
Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then continue mixing until the frosting is creamy and well blended.
Once the cake has completely cooled, spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the top.
Optional: Sprinkle a touch of cinnamon or crushed nuts on top for added garnish.
Cut into slices and serve. Enjoy your delicious Pumpkin Pie Cake!
