When I was young I was told these cakes were fly cakes yuk, and I wouldn't touch one for love nor money as they say.
What a crafty so and so my Dad was, over the years I got braver and a bit (not much :) more switched on and decided to try one, what a delight, they are so lovely, flaky pastry, sweetfruit and a buttery flavour.
Go on try one there's no flies I promise :)

They definitely are the best Eccles cakes I have ever tasted, my dad originated from Lancashire so we were brought up on them. I have just stuffed myself with a strawberry jam doughnut whilst reading your post!!!

Oh I do love an Eccles cake. We only live a few miles from Eccles but have never been.

Oh, I LOVE Eccles cakes - but they mst be so fattening!
mmmm, I like eccles cakes. Haven't had one for years.
I have never eaten those, I rather like a nice piece of shortbread than a full on cake. Nice to see you back today ;-)) Take lots of care, Dee x
Hi....io ti ringrazio per la tua simpatica visita. Il tuo blog è molto bello ed io adoro le cose antiche!
Un caro saluto, *Maristella*.
I know lots of people, adults, that call anything with currants in dead fly cakes. I just love all cake really. Ooops.
One of my favourites as a child was 'Angel cake' I would always split the layers, leaving the pink till last Linda x
My mum's looking forward to having a real eccles cake again and a pork pie.
