Heat oven to 350°F. Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda and spices together. 

 

In a mixer bowl, whip the butter and 1 cup sugar till fluffy. Add 3 eggs, one at a time. 

 

Add 1 tsp vanilla and pumpkin puree. Gradually add the dry ingredients and the buttermilk, alternating between the two.
