Preheat oven to 350℉. Butter or oil a 5x9 loaf pan.
In a bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, ground cloves, and salt. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Scrape down the bowl halfway through. It should become a wet dough consistency.
Add in the eggs on at a time and mix until well combined. Then add in the vanilla.
Slowly alternate between half of the flour and milk at a time into the bowl, ending with the milk.
Stir in the pumpkin puree.
Pour the batter into the loaf pan and sprinkle the pumpkin seeds on top.
Bake for 45-1 hour or until the center is cooked through.
