You can replace the ground spices with 1½ tsp ground mixed spice if you want to.
Freeze the iced cake in portions, well wrapped in non-stick baking paper, then cling film. Defrost at room temperature to serve. Alternatively, freeze the whole cake un-iced, then defrost and ice before serving. The finished cake will keep well for a few days in a sealed container in the fridge or in a cool room.
