The Ingredients

Our Cakes are individually made from the finest ingredients obtainable in order to re-capture the authentic appearance and flavour of a Real Lancashire Eccles Cake.

Our ingredients are as follows:

  • Vine Fruit 40% (Raisins, Currants)
  • Fortified Wheat Flour (Wheat Flour, Calcium Carbonate, Iron, Niacin (B3), Thiamin (B1))
  • Butter (Milk) (9.1%)
  • Sugar
  • Water
  • Vegetable Fat (Palm oil, Rapeseed oil)
  • Vegetable Margarine (Palm oil, Rapeseed oil)
  • Dried Skimmed Milk
  • Salt

As a Company we are aware of the impact on the environment caused by palm oil cultivation. We only use suppliers who produce fats using palm oil that has been certified by the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) according to specific criteria. These criteria help to reduce the negative impacts of palm oil cultivation on the environment and communities. Below is a link to their website which we hope will answer any questions in more detail and give you the confidence to continue enjoying our cakes.
