Steps

Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line it with a strip of parchment.
Make the topping first: in a small bowl, stir 10 g (one-sixth) of the granulated sugar with 1 g (one-sixth) of the cinnamon. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, ground ginger, nutmeg, cloves and the remaining 5 g of cinnamon.
In a large bowl, whisk the pumpkin, brown sugar, the remaining 50 g of granulated sugar, the eggs, canola oil, buttermilk and vanilla until smooth.
Add the flour mixture to the pumpkin mixture and fold with a spatula just until no dry streaks remain; do not overmix.
Scrape the batter into the pan, smooth the top and sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar topping evenly over it.
Bake 60 to 70 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Tent with foil after 45 minutes if the top browns too fast.
Cool in the pan 10 minutes, then lift out and cool completely on a rack, about 1 hour, before cutting into 12 slices.

Food safety: Don't taste raw dough or batter: raw flour and raw eggs can carry germs.
