Mentioned in a nursery rhyme and baked by the same family for over a hundred years, the Banbury Cake is as famously linked with the town as the Cross or the lady on the white horse.

But as you'll hear in the audio link above, this wasn't the first time a member of the Brown family had been interviewed by the BBC!
