Chorley Cake is a traditional British pastry hailing from Chorley, Lancashire. It consists of a shortcrust pastry filled with dried currants or raisins, often sweetened lightly with sugar. Unlike Eccles cakes, Chorley cakes are less sweet and contain no added syrup, offering a more understated flavor. Typically enjoyed as a snack or dessert, they are often paired with a cup of tea or a slice of cheese for a savory contrast. While Chorley cakes provide quick energy due to their carbohydrate-rich pastry and fruit filling, they are also relatively high in calories, sugar, and fats, depending on the recipe. Their use of dried fruits does contribute small amounts of fiber, vitamins, and minerals, though these benefits are modest. As with most pastries, moderation is key when incorporating this regional treat into a balanced diet.
