What is a Yorkshire Parkin? According to Wikipedia, a "Parkin or Perkin is a soft cake traditionally made of oatmeal and molasses, which originated in northern England", "often associated with Yorkshire" and traditionally eaten on Bonfire Night, which is the 5th of November.
I decided to bake this cake as it is meant to mature for 3 to 7 days before being eaten and can also be kept up to 2 weeks in an airtight container. This is ideal for me as I will be visiting my sister and family this weekend and we can all have it on Bonfire Night!
The recipe actually came from a magazine from one of my favourite clothing shops, so fingers crossed it will actually be quite tasty!
