Pain d’épice, or 'spiced bread', is a traditional French honey cake with a distinctive and unforgettable charm. This dense and aromatic loaf is a harmonious blend of warm spices, star anise, ginger and cinnamon, perfectly complemented by the natural sweetness of honey. Each slice is an invitation to reminisce about comforting childhood treats, where the gentle aroma of spices filled the kitchen, evoking memories of ginger cake enjoyed on cosy afternoons.
The texture of pain d’épice is robust and hearty, not soft or fluffy like typical bread. Its rich density makes it the ideal canvas for indulgent pairings. Toasting or gently warming the loaf enhances the spices, releasing a tantalising aroma that draws you in for another bite. Whether you’re savouring it on its own or using it as a base for creative culinary combinations, this timeless French recipe is a celebration of depth and tradition.
