Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8-inch round baking pan.
In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese and vegetable oil using an electric mixer until smooth.
Add room temperature eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla essence, mixing until well combined.
Gently fold in mashed sweet potato until fully incorporated.
In another bowl, mix together yellow cake mix, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg.
Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture until just combined; do not overmix.
Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan, layer with half of the spice mixture, then top with remaining batter.
Bake for approximately 27 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Allow to cool slightly before transferring to a wire rack.
