    This was served in wedges, and as I remember was a lot more solid, and heavier than Eccles cake.
    Known as Black Bun up here. Great food - often served at a wedding at about 1am!

      That'll teach me not to scroll down before adding a post!

            HeyWayne, I can post the recipe from my old cookbook (apparently first published in 1971).

            Another cake recipe that I used to make, and absolutely love from the book is Wiltshire Lardy Cake.

              One cookery book I've got has a recipe and a very unflattering description of Black Bun... being very very sweet and very very dense, sounds like the sort of thing that could take out a cow at twenty paces

                      There's a tiny little sweet shop in Hitchin that's like that. It has all the old jars up on the wall and you buy them in weights (obviously all metric now). I buy cough candies and those little peanut shaped peanut sweets every time we go there.

                        I used to love the pineapple chunks. Cut your mouth to ribbons though, if you were a ferocious sucker!

                            Hey Wayne - get a grip of yourself man
                            Hi-jacking this thread somewhat, did anyone have something called Gypsy pudding at school and, more importantly, does anyone have a recipe. mmm
