Fortwenger Honey Pain d’Epices Kougelhopf-Style 150g

Discover the distinctive taste of Alsace with this Fortwenger honey pain d’epices kougelhopf-style cake, a refined take on the region’s famous pain d’épices, shaped like a small kougelhopf bundt cake.

This French gingerbread loaf cake combines the rich warmth of spices with the delicate sweetness of honey, which makes up nearly 55% of the recipe. The result is a soft, moist texture and a gently aromatic flavour that balances notes of cinnamon, clove, and anise.

Baked in the shape of the Alsatian Kougelhopf (a festive brioche-style cake similar to Italy’s panettone), this version by Fortwenger reimagines a regional classic in a smaller, ready-to-enjoy format. The dough is slowly mixed and baked to achieve a tender crumb and a subtly caramelised crust, making it ideal with tea, coffee, or a glass of dessert wine.

A staple of Alsace’s rich culinary heritage, this honey spice cake brings together centuries of regional savoir-faire and the comforting warmth of winter flavours in every bite.
