A simple North-country parkin - with no eggs, milk or butter

As a vegan, I'm constantly on the look-out for recipes I can alter to suit my requirements. I was very doubtful I could do this with the parkin of my youth (Lancashire, as it happens, but Yorkshire also lays claim to this recipe - which is why I've called it North-country), but, after the success of my vegan chocolate cake, I thought I'd have a go - and, it turned out absolutely gorgeous (just like my chocolate cake)!

Here it is:

There is also a reference for gluten-free parkin in the post.
