Follow these simple steps to create your Pumpkin Spice Loaf:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves until well combined.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the vegetable oil, pumpkin puree, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
5. Add Optional Ingredients: If desired, fold in the chopped nuts and chocolate chips for added flavor and texture.
6. Pour Batter: Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
7. Bake: Place the loaf in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
8. Cool: Once baked, remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Slice and Serve: Once cooled, slice the loaf into even pieces and enjoy!
