Growing up I had so many favourite foods including pizza fingers, bursting bugs and cakes just like this ‘ School Dinner Cake Recipe‘. Many of the foods aren’t here anymore but I suppose it’s fun to make things ourselves. The first up was this delicious cake which turned out delicious with some warm Alpro custard!
I can remember being at primary school having my lunch and occasionally they would be a cake served with custard, it made me so excited that I would rush through my lunch to get to my dessert, it was memories I will cherish.
For this recipe, I was wondering what to use instead of eggs and dairy and after contemplating what to use I tried something I have never tried before or together for that matter; whisked aquafaba and oat milk.
This recipe was really fun to make with my kids, they helped me organise the ingredients and mix up the cake mix and also decorate the cake at the end, yes it can be messy making but that’s part of the fun baking, right? So this cake is wonderful to make yourself, with a partner or with family and friends. The toppings are versatile so you can use whatever toppings you love, sprinkles are a must for me.
I had this cake with my family and everyone enjoyed it including
