I think it is called a Manchester Tart, not to be confused with the other sort :) they are one of my favourites but hard to come by in sheffield

No. I remember the cake in question from my early years in Golders Green. It was indeed puff pastry, with a topping of toasted dessicated coconut. I too have not seen it outside the smoke.

Manchester Tart is a shortcrust pastry case, filled with confectioner's custard. Some put the raspberry jam on the bottom of the pastry case, others make a hole in the custard and put the jam in the middle. Some put toasted dessicated coconut on top, and others use glace cherries.
