Here's a recipe for French Four Spice from epicurious: http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/French-Four-Spice-Blend-243545 it's 1 T white pepper, 1 t ground ginger, 1 t ground nutmeg, and a rounded 1/4 t ground cloves.
I just made HLA's Spiced Parsnip Cake to take to a Food52 gathering tonight. I asked this question of HLA because I found a recipe on Epicurious. Her response was just to make sure the white pepper was noticeable. It is an amazing recipe. Enjoy!
I would do exactly that. It does sound really good, parsnips have a spicy bite and I can imagine how good this cake must be I also don't have the four spice blend will do the same.
I read the recipe and here is what hardlikearmour said it is:
French four spice (I used the Penzey's blend which contains white pepper, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves),
BTW, it sounds absolutely delicious. I am going to give it a try too!
