Heat oven to 375 degrees. Coat bottom and sides of a 15 x 10 inch jelly roll pan with cooking spray and line it with parchment paper
In your large mixing bowl beat eggs for about 5 minutes until thick and lemon colored, gradually adding sugar, beating until well combined.
In a separate mixing bowl, add flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, ginger, nutmeg and salt. Stir well to combine. Add to the egg/sugar mixture and beat well.
Combine pumpkin, chopped pecans and lemon juice in a separate mixing bowl. Spoon the pumpkin pecan mixture into the cake batter and mix well.
Spread the pumpkin pecan cake batter into your prepared pan and place in preheated oven. Bake for 15 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Remove cake from oven and while it’s still hot, run a knife around the edges to loosen.
While cake is baking liberally sprinkle ½ cup of powdered sugar on a 15 x 10 inch area of the kitchen towel.
