Chorley cakes are flatter and tend to be made with short pastry- Eccles are thicker and with puff pastry and sugared

I've never heard of them either - maybe we don't get them north of the border?

I've never heard of them, but I like eccles cakes.

Chorley Cakes are shortcrust pastry with raisins in which are rolled to a thinnish round shape. The difference between eccles cakes and chorley cakes is the pastry in an eccles cake is puff pastry and usually you add some mixed spice.
