Actually you can make your own allspice by combining equal parts of cinnamon, nutmeg and ground cloves. I use organic including spices and it was impossible to find organic allspice, so I used a recipe that I found online for allspice and substituted organic base spices. I use it in every recipe that calls for allspice, it tastes exactly the same.
I look forward to making your pumpkin recipe. I will be using it in muffin tins. I have a favourite plant based restaurant and I love the pumpkin muffins. They have such a smooth consistency that I believe a cake recipe would be suitable. Thanks for sharing your recipe. 🙂

Hi Iosune,
I’m not from the USA so I am wondering what allspice is. I don’t think it is sold in my country.
Iosune says
Hi Winnie! It's also known as pimenta, Jamaica pimenta, or myrtle pepper (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allspice). I found it at a local health store as allspice isn't very common in my country either. Hope it helps!

Allspice is also simply called pimento seed in Jamaica
