Credit for the cake's invention is claimed by Ian Dowding and Nigel Mackenzie of The Hungry Monk restaurant in Jevington, East Sussex United Kingdom. They claim to have invented - or "evolved" - the cake in 1972, and the restaurant's exterior bears a blue plaque to that effect. The dish, with various stories of its source, spread, and in 1994 a number of supermarkets began selling it as an American pie, leading Dowding and Mackenzie to offer a £10,000 prize to anyone who could disprove their claim.
The recipe was originally revealed in 'The Deeper Secrets of the Hungry Monk' in 1974
