Preheat the oven to 350°F (176°C). Grease four mini loaf pans and set them aside.
Combine the flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Set aside.
Combine the sugar and butter in a bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping the bowl often, until creamy. Continue beating, adding the eggs one at a time, until well mixed. Add the pumpkin and continue beating until well combined. Gradually add the flour mixture alternately with the milk, beating at low speed until well mixed.
Spoon the batter into the loaf pans and top with the sliced almonds. Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes, then remove from the pan and cool completely.
Notes
You may use a regular loaf pan to make the pumpkin pound cake, or double the measurement above to make a big pumpkin pound cake using a 12-cup Bundt pan.
