I love a good spice cake and this recipe seems something I could try. Got most of the spices in my kitchen already.

Carolyn – Yup! Some of the spices were from Penzeys.

Katie – Most Asian grocers carry star anise.

Benjamin – The lighter color is probably from the small amount of rye in the recipe. Some of the other recipes I saw had a lot more rye flour in it, as much as half.

Robin – honey sweetened loaves are a nice break from all the gingerbread lately

I remember bookmarking this recipe a while ago (maybe passed it by because pine honey? Malaysian Sarawak black pepper?, but thanks for reminding me. A happy break from all the molasses I’ve been enjoying.

Wow! I love spice cake. But I usually buy the spice mix and never thought of grinding my own spices. Thank you for your recipe.

Oh, I’m terrible. I never even realized this recipe was in this book– I’m too much a photo-person, heh Thanks for giving it a second look for me– it sounds great and I can only imagine how lovely it smells!
