[edit] Query

The Eccles cake page describes the difference between a Chorley Cake and an Eccles Cake as:

A similar sort of cake originates from the town of Chorley in Lancashire. The Chorley cake is flatter in appearance, is made with shortcrust pastry rather than puff pastry and is devoid of sugar topping.

Is this consistent?193.60.133.201 11:13, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

There is nothing in there which contradicts this page, and it is similarly true. The lack of sugar crust on the top is another reason why a Chorley cake is much less sweet than an Eccles one. The Eccles cake should be flat (as made traditionally) and made with flakey pastry. Puff pastry is a modern addition and generally results in the top of the cake doming upward during baking, giving it a more raised top than the Chorley. Pyrope 11:38, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
