I have been trying SO HARD to find an authentic German gingerbread spice for years now without the best of luck. I eventually made my own. So here is my Nürnberger Lebkuchen inspired version using a blend of cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, coriander, anise, cloves, allspice and nutmeg.
This German homemade gingerbread spice blend smells like a German Christmas market and is essential when making German gingerbread (Lebkuchen). I also love it for adding spice to Apfelkuchen (apple cake), and sprinkled on top of pancakes or muffins when blended with equal parts of sugar. My decorated gingerbread hearts, It keeps for up to 2 years at room temperature, stored in an airtight container and kept in a dark spot.
