  3. In a medium bowl, whisk flour, cinnamon, salt, baking powder, baking soda, ground nutmeg, and ground cloves.

  5. Gently fold 1/4 of dry ingredients into wet mixture, until no dry spots remain. Repeat with remaining dry ingredients, stirring to combine. Transfer batter to prepared pan; smooth top with a spatula. Scatter pumpkin seeds over top of bread then sprinkle 1 tbsp cane sugar. Bake bread 80–85 minutes. (Check center with toothpick to ensure the inside is baked through.)
