Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 8-inch round cake pans.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt.

In a large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
-
Gradually mix in the dry ingredients alternately with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients.
-
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Smooth the tops with a spatula.
-
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove from the pans and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, cream cheese, heavy cream, cloves, and allspice until smooth and creamy.
-
Place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread a layer of the cream cheese frosting on top. Repeat with the remaining cake layers and frosting.

Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
