INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 325°F and grease and line two 20cm Le Creuset Springform Round Cake Tins.

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg. Fold in remaining cake ingredients until combined.

Divide cake batter between prepared cake tins and bake for 1 hour, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Meanwhile, make the frosting: beat together cream cheese, vanilla and butter until just blended. 1 cup at a time, beat in powdered sugar until frosting is thick and creamy.

Once cakes have cooled, spread frosting evenly between layers and on the top and sides of the cake. Decorate with walnuts and a light dusting of cinnamon to serve.
