Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
In a mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, sugar, vegetable oil, and eggs. Beat until smooth.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about ⅔ full.
Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cupcakes cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
