Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 15x10 baking pan with baking spray. Set aside.
In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, pumpkin, and melted butter. Add in the dry ingredients and stir to combine. Fold in three-fourths cup of dried cranberries.
Spread this batter into the prepared baking pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
While your cake bakes, prepare a half-batch of the brown butter cream cheese frosting recipe. You can find that in the notes below.
