As far as the questions regarding the spices you can get this right in the supermarket. Look in the baking section or ask the store manager. I know for a fact it is there.
Please continue to email any question you have on the carrot cake.
Thank you Tommie and TonyaSue
The spices in ground all spices is as follows:
Allspice is a cured, unripe berry from a tropical evergreen tree. Allspice when ground releases aromatic notes reminiscent of cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg.
