Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9 x 13-inch (3 L) baking dish.
Whisk the pumpkin with the milk, egg whites and vanilla until smooth. Whisk the flour with the granulated and brown sugars, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, nutmeg, ginger, salt and allspice in a separate, large bowl. Stir the wet mixture into the dry mixture just until combined. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan.
Bake for 45 to 50 minutes or until a tester inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean. Cool completely before slicing.
