Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice. Set aside.
In a separate bowl whisk granulated sugar, brown sugar, oil, eggs and pumpkin puree.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet and whisk to combine.
Spread your batter into the cake pan evenly and bake for 25-35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool for 20-30 minutes and poke with a fork across the surface of the cake, this will allow the leches mixture to soak in.
Whisk together all the ingredients for the leches mixture until well combined. Pour the mixture slowly and evenly over your cake, allowing it to seep in completely.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before topping with spiced whipped cream.
Spiced whipped cream:
Using a hand mixer, beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, vanilla, and spices until stiff peaks form.
Spread evenly across your cooled cake and dust with cinnamon.
