CAKE – Preheat oven at 350 degrees. Lightly oil and flour a 10 Cup (9.6" x 3.6") Bundt pan; shake out any floury excess.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together flour, sugars, baking powder, baking soda, salt and spices; whisk to combine.
In the same bowl, add in pumpkin, buttermilk, oil, vanilla, vinegar and eggs. Using a hand-mixer, or whisk, combine wet and dry ingredients till blended and a smooth, velvety batter forms.
Spoon half of batter into mold; place 1 cup of berries evenly atop batter. Spoon in remaining batter; top with last cup of berries.
Place pan in middle rack of oven and bake for 1 hour, or until a toothpick (preferably a long wooden skewer) inserted into cake comes out clean. On a wire rack, cool cake in pan for 1 hour; transfer from pan to rack and let cool completely for another 2 hours.
