Title: Kuali Cake

Ingredients:
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
– 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1/2 cup brown sugar
– 3/4 cup vegetable oil
– 3 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 cup grated carrots
– 1/2 cup crushed pineapple, drained
– 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

For the Cream Cheese Filling:
– 8 oz cream cheese, softened
– 1/4 cup granulated sugar
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan with butter or cooking spray. Set aside.

2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves until well combined. Set aside.

3. In a separate large bowl, beat together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil until creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

4. Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.

5. Fold in the grated carrots, crushed pineapple, and chopped walnuts until evenly distributed in the batter.

6. To make the cream cheese filling, beat together the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.

7. Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared pan. Spread the cream cheese filling over the batter, leaving a small border around the edges. Carefully spoon the remaining batter over the filling and smooth out the top.

8. Bake the Kuali Cake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

9. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

10. Once cooled, slice the cake and serve it with a dusting of powdered sugar or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra touch of indulgence.

This Kuali Cake is a delightful combination of warm spices, sweet carrots, tangy pineapple, crunchy walnuts, and creamy cream cheese filling. It’s the perfect dessert to enjoy with a cup of tea or coffee, or to share with loved ones during a special occasion.
