Make frosting: Beat cream cheese and butter until fluffy. Slowly add confectioners' sugar, beating until well combined and smooth. Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, salt, and cloves into a medium sized bowl; set aside. Do not skimp on the creaming time. Wrap cake strips around pan if you have them (for a more level cake).
