Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with parchment paper; brush pan with softened butter. Prepare pumpkin batter; In an electric mixer on medium speed, mix together brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, baking powder and baking soda for about 30 seconds, until evenly combined.

Reserve other half in a small bowl, scraping mixing bowl well. Using the same mixing bowl, prepare cream cheese batter: Beat cream cheese, egg and extracts on medium speed for abut 2 minutes, until fluffy and smooth. Add sugar; beat on medium speed for about 1 minute. Spread cream cheese batter over pumpkin batter in pan. Pour reserved pumpkin batter over cream cheese layer. Using a rubber spatula, cut through the batter several times through the length of the pan, then through the width of the pan, to create a marbled effect. Prepare topping: Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat butter and brown sugar for 2 minutes, until fluffy and light in color. Add flour and pecans; bet on low speed for about 1 minute. The mixture will be crumbly. Sprinkle crumbs evenly over marbled batter. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes.
