Notes

For the best results, ensure that the heavy cream is well-chilled before whipping to achieve the desired consistency. Additionally, the cake can be made a day ahead and stored in the refrigerator to enhance the flavors. If you prefer a more intense spice flavor, adjust the quantities of spices according to your taste preference.
