Mixed spice

OK, so I finally have a kitchen and I am going on a baking binge...

I want to make gingerbread but I can't because I need some mixed spice. Does any one know if what us Brits call mixed spice is available in Germany and if so what is it called?

Roz,
as far as I know there isn't an equivalent in German. But I found you a recipe on recipecottage.com:


Don may be able to offer a better solution.

Pomeroy and Winterbottom in Munich might stock it, but I haven't been in for ages.

Okay I am about to make a yummy Carrot Cake, and I need mixed spice.

Maybe a stupid question but I havent needed to buy it yet since living here, and now need it, so whats it called here, is it just a direct translation or is it called something completely different. I just dont want to end up buying the completely wrong thing.

Thanks in advance

I would recommend "Lebkuchengewürz", it contains the main spices such as ginger, cinnamon, anis etc. It has always worked in spice cake for me.
