Place the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and spices in a medium-sized bowl. Mix well until blended and set aside.
Combine the pumpkin, milk, melted butter, and vanilla in a smaller bowl until mixed.
Into the dry ingredients, add the wet ingredients and mix well until you have a thick batter. Into a small 8-inch casserole dish with high sides, pour the batter.
Mix the sugar, brown sugar, and pecans in another bowl until everything is incorporated. Then, evenly spread this on top of the batter. Over the entire thing, pour hot water. DO NOT STIR.
Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 40 minutes or until the center of the cobbler is set.
Remove from the oven when done, and allow the cobbler to cool for about 5 to 10 minutes. Then, serve with extra pecans and a big scoop of vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!
