Hawkeshead was the village she lived in maybe the cake was a speciality of a local baker.

Crisp pastry and an abundance of syrup.
So, something like a treacle tart I would imagine.

I have just read an article about some letters that Beatrix Potter wrote, and in one of them she praises her friends Hawkeshead Cake. I am curious - what is a Hawkeshead Cake? She mentions pastry and syrup - so I am thinking a sort of syrup tart? Does anyone know?
