What is Spratley Cake?

Is it a cake or a pie?

Is it a cake or a pie?

"Fly Pie" is the less delicate description. Which is likely why it uses both names.

So is it cake, pie or cookie? What is it?

I'm hoping someone (maybe British) can explain this to me. My grandfather loved mincemeat pie and he told us children it was "fly pie" so we wouldn't want any.

This is the description...

Currants with sugar, sweet spices and mint strewn between two sheets of shortcrust paste and rolled thin so the currants show through. Glazed and baked. A form of Squashed Fly Cake.
