The traditional Yorkshire cake eaten on Bonfire Night is called Parkin. It is a gingerbread-like cake made with oatmeal, black treacle, and ginger. It has a sticky, moist texture and is traditionally eaten on November 5th to mark the anniversary of the failed Gunpowder Plot of 1605. The cake was originally popular in Yorkshire and is still a popular treat in the region today, especially during the autumn and winter months.
