1. 1. Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.

2. 2. Combine Dry: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.

3. 3. Combine Wet: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, applesauce, vegan milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.

4. 4. Mix Batters: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir just until combined; do not overmix. A few lumps are okay for your Pumpkin Marble Cake (vegan).

5. 5. Separate Batter: Divide the batter evenly into two bowls.

6. 6. Create Chocolate Batter: To one bowl, add the cocoa powder. Mix gently until just combined.

7. 7. Assemble: Alternate dollops of the plain pumpkin batter and the chocolate pumpkin batter into your prepared pan.

8. 8. Swirl: Take a knife or skewer and gently swirl through the batters a few times to create a marbled effect. Do not overmix the swirls in your Pumpkin Marble Cake (vegan).

9. 9. Bake: Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

10. 10. Cool: Let the Pumpkin Marble Cake (vegan) cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
