Start by mixing the spices, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl.

In a stand mixer, combine butter and both sugars (dark brown and granulated) until mixed.

Add vegetable oil to the butter and sugar mixture.

Pour in vanilla extract and mix well.

Add sour cream to the mixture and blend until there are no streaks.

Add eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the mixer, about a cup at a time, mixing until well blended.

Spray a bundt pan with cooking spray and pour the batter into the pan, shaking gently to settle it.

Bake the cake in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 35-40 minutes.

Allow the cake to cool for 10 to 20 minutes before inverting it onto a plate.

Prepare the cream cheese frosting by mixing cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, salt, and vanilla in a mixer.

Add powdered sugar gradually to the cream cheese mixture, mixing until smooth.

Use a piping bag or a Ziploc bag to decorate the cake with the frosting, using a back-and-forth motion.

Slice and serve the cake.
