I was making a low carb carrot cake for my son’s birthday and the recipe called for mixed spice. It’s the first time I’ve made a recipe that called for mixed slice, and add such I didn’t have any in the kitchen.
The alternative that I came up with using is to use cinnamon and nutmeg in a 2:1 ratio, so 2 parts cinnamon to 1 part nutmeg in place of mixed spice.
Using this alternate for mixed spice turned out pretty good, and the gluten free, lactose free, low carb carrot cake was a winner for our son’s 14th birthday…
