School dinner Cake
Jump to Recipe
Do you have fond memories of school dinner cake? This simple vanilla sponge traybake topped with icing and sprinkles is a retro classic in the UK that’s loved by so many!
School cake couldn’t be easier to make and it’s a crowd pleaser – the whole family will love it.
For most people, the mere mention of school dinners can conjure up both good and bad memories, depending on your own personal experience.
I didn’t have school dinners very often. The Primary school I attended was just a 5 minute walk away from my house so I usually went home at lunchtime, but on the odd occasion, I had to stay at school for lunch.
I have memories of meat pies and chips, mince and tatties, Eve’s pudding and baked rice pudding with a thick layer of skin on top.
And let’s not forget lukewarm, thick custard and semolina. In fact, maybe they are best left forgotten (shudder!)
