Dijon Specialty Spiced Gingerbread
A specialty of Dijon, this spiced gingerbread is a reminder of the town's position on the spice route. Though called a bread, it is more of a cake and can keep for weeks. It is a moist, dense honey cake flavored with sweet spices: cinnamon, nutmeg, anise, ginger, and comes in all shapes.
