Steps:

• Place a rack in the top third of the oven and one in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and ginger in a large bowl. Set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, eggs, 1/2 cup buttermilk, pumpkin puree and vanilla.
• Sprinkle the chilled butter cubes over the flour mixture. Mix with your fingers, pinching the butter into the dough until small crumbles form. Pour the wet mixture into the center of the dry mixture and stir to combine. Add the cranberries and pecans and stir until just incorporated.
• On a lightly floured surface, divide the dough in half and shape into two rounds each about 6 inches in diameter. Cut each round into 6 triangular scones. Pull the scones apart from each other and place on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about an inch between each. Brush the scones with the remaining 2 tablespoons of buttermilk and sprinkle with the turbinado sugar. If you have the time, refrigerate the scones for 30 minutes.
• Bake the scones until golden brown, puffed and cooked through, 28 to 32 minutes, switching the pans once about halfway through baking. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool until warm or room temperature. Store leftover scones in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees, and butter and flour a 12-cup (or larger) capacity bundt pan.
• In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, cardamom, allspice and black pepper until well combined.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine brown sugar, butter and olive oil. Beat on medium-high until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing for about 20 seconds in between each egg. Add the pumpkin purée and sour cream, and mix until well combined, scraping the bottom and sides of the bowl as necessary.
• Remove the bowl from the mixer, and use a rubber spatula to fold in the dry ingredients until well combined. Make sure to scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl to ensure an evenly mixed batter.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smooth the top and firmly tap the pan on the countertop a few times to release any large air bubbles. Bake the cake until golden and puffed, and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 55 to 65 minutes.
• Set the cake, still in its pan, on a rack to cool for 20 minutes, then use the tip of a knife to loosen the edges and invert the cake onto the rack to cool completely before glazing.
• Make the glaze: Once the cake is cool, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook the butter, occasionally scraping the bottom and sides of the pan with a rubber spatula until it turns a deep golden brown and smells nutty. Don't walk away from the pan during this process. The butter can go from brown and nutty to acrid and burnt in mere moments.
• Transfer butter and all the brown bits from the pan to a heat-safe bowl, and let it cool slightly. Whisk in the confectioners' sugar, maple syrup and salt until smooth. The glaze should be thick but pourable. If it's too thin, add a bit more confectioners' sugar. If it's too thick, add a few drops of water.
• Transfer the cake to a serving platter and pour the glaze evenly over the top. Sprinkle with pepitas if desired. Let the glaze set for a few minutes before slicing.
