Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Cream together margarine and sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

Beat in eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until fully incorporated.

In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, ground cloves, cinnamon, and dark cocoa. Mix these dry ingredients thoroughly.

Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the creamed mixture, alternating with small additions of milk as needed to achieve a thick batter consistency.

Pour the batter into a greased 9-inch (23 cm) round or square baking tin, spreading evenly.

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean and the cake is golden brown.

Remove from oven and allow to cool in the tin for 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
