Cake Spice is a British spice blend that is composed of ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, allspice, and star anise.
This spice is popular all over Europe and it has crossed the waters to America with little difficulty. It is very popular with the baked goods associated with Christmas, such as Christmas pudding in Britain or spice cake in the United States. It is also culturally considered essential for mincemeat in English cooking.
