These cakes are about 10cm in diameter and 3 cm deep the outer pastry is a puff pastry with 3 lines cut across the top. The top is also covered in caster sugar that has been baked in the oven. The inside of the eccles cakes is filled to the brim with juicy currants.

I am going to review Thomas's the Bakers eccles cakes. Now I am not sure if this is just a chain of bakers in Yorkshire and the North East as I can't seem to find a website to tell me any more about the company.

It was in 1793 in Eccles, a town near Manchester when James Birch made a pastry and fruit patty to sell in his shop in Vicarage Street. It seems that he couldn't cook them quickly enough, as each batch came out of the oven they were snapped up by eager customers. Though traditionally they are baked in the town of Eccles where they get their name from, they have gained Worldwide popularity. It appears that there was a debate held in Parliament recently, they questioned whether the Eccles cake could officially be known as such if it was made elsewhere! When you take the state of the economy into mind it seems a little trivial to worry about the name of a cake ... Read the complete review
