Mixed Spice - Blend

This famous British spice blend has been enjoyed in Christmas baking and beyond for several centuries.  With both sweet and savory applications, you will love this deliciously versatile Mixed Spice blend!

What is Mixed Spice?
The term “mixed spice” for this popular British spice blend has been referenced in cookbooks since at least the early 1800’s. It’s especially popular in baked goods (thus also called “cake spice”) during the Christmas season where it’s used in a variety of holiday baked desserts including English Christmas pudding, thus also commonly called “pudding spice.”

This British spice blend is similar to gingerbread and pumpkin spice blends in other countries in its choice of spices. It has a warm and sweet-spicy flavor and aroma and most commonly includes cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg and/or mace, cloves, ginger and coriander.

Some modern adaptations may include spices like cardamom and star anise but adding those crosses over into the territory of German gingerbread spice (Lebkuchengewuerz) which is fine, but I prefer to keep the two separate and distinct. In other words, when I’m making traditional British baked goods for Christmas, I want them to taste distinctly and authentically British. So I stick with the more traditional spices for this classic spice blend.

Mixed Spice is used in a variety of cakes, puddings, pies, breads and buns, cookies, pancakes, cupcakes, gingerbreads, and fruit salads. With the predominant flavor of cinnamon, it also makes a nice change to substitute this spice blend for anything calling for cinnamon for an added flavor boost. You can also get creative with savory dishes like adding it to stuffing mixes for your turkey or using it as a seasoning for roast chicken.
