I love Welsh Cakes and these look awesome, I had problems getting currants over here (moved to MA from London) but I found nutsonline stocks lovely currants, also essential for my Spotted Dick recipe! As for using mixed spice - I have found that "pumpkin pie spice" is a very reasonable substitute for mixed spice, now my cakes taste just like my mum's home made... :)
Thanks for the tip - I'll have to remember pumpkin pie spice when a recipe calls for mixed spice... Glad we could help you enjoy a taste of home. Cheers- PJH
