Doesn't seem to be a definitive answer on the internet.
Apparently the cake originates in the Tottenham Quaker community (the community dates back to the 17th century) and the cake appears to be a 19th century invention (the cake was given free to children on the streets of Tottenham to celebrate the FA Cup victory of 1901)
It is a simple sponge base with lurid pink icing. It was originally baked in long trays and diced for sale/ distribution.
A lemony taste to the base is common. Food colouring is commonly used to achieve the pink icing but interestingly the contemporary Tottenham Quakers (who still bake and distribute the cake at modern day meetings) use mulberries from their burial ground to achieve the colour!
It is sold to this day by Greggs the bakers.
