About Banbury cake

Banbury Cake is a traditional English pastry originating from the town of Banbury in Oxfordshire. It is made with a flaky, oval-shaped puff pastry filled with a mixture of spiced dried fruits, such as currants, raisins, and sultanas, combined with brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon or nutmeg. Sometimes, orange zest or brandy is added for additional flavor. With its sweet and fruity filling complemented by warming spices, Banbury Cake is often enjoyed as a snack or dessert alongside tea. While the dried fruits provide fiber, natural sugars, and some vitamins, the pastry is rich in butter and refined flour, contributing to high calorie and saturated fat content. Its sugar-rich filling also makes it a treat best enjoyed in moderation. Banbury Cake represents a delightful piece of English culinary heritage, offering both indulgence and the occasional nutritional perk when savored thoughtfully.
