Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and cardamom.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the dried cranberries.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
