Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Stir in the pumpkin puree and vanilla extract until combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, spices, and salt.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.

Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

For the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, orange juice, and orange zest until smooth.

Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake before serving.
