Pontefract Cakes are a traditional British sweet made from liquorice, originating from the town of Pontefract in West Yorkshire. These small, round treats are known for their distinctive flavour, a balance of sweet and slightly salty, with a firm yet chewy texture. They are often stamped with the iconic “P” symbol, representing their historic roots. A beloved classic, Pontefract Cakes have been enjoyed for generations as a nostalgic treat.
