Preparation

1. Prepare the topping:
   Melt the butter in a pot, then add the walnuts and brown sugar. Toast the mixture. Let it cool until serving.

2. Prepare the white frosting:
   In a blender, combine the cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk, and powdered sugar. Mix well, then refrigerate until ready to decorate.

3. Prepare the cake:
   In a bowl, mix the flour with baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, clove, cocoa powder, and nutmeg. Set the dry ingredients aside.
   In the blender, beat the eggs with vanilla. Add sugar and melted butter and continue to beat.
   Add the mashed sweet potatoes, food coloring, and milk. Beat well, then gradually add the yogurt and the dry ingredients.
   Grease a cake pan with oil and flour, then line it with parchment paper.
   Pour the batter into the pan and bake in a preheated oven until cooked through.
   Let the cake cool completely before removing it from the pan. Do not flip the cake while hot to avoid crumbling or collapsing as it is very soft.

4. To serve:
   Spread the walnut and sugar mixture, then the white frosting. Drizzle with chocolate and toffee sauces as desired and serve.
