The moist chocolate sponge, topped with a simple icing and colorful sprinkles, evokes nostalgic memories of school desserts. The recipe’s straightforward instructions make it accessible for bakers of all skill levels, and the end result is both visually appealing and delicious. It’s a perfect treat for gatherings, birthdays, or simply indulging in a comforting slice of cake. Thank you for sharing such a charming and tasty recipe.

Made this for my daughters birthday and topped it with chocolate ganache, she absolutely loved it, she’s a chocoholic.

I’m loving all the new recipes & keep trying them frantically – Supply is outweighing demand at the moment & the freezer is bursting at the seams.
I keep being asked for old school nostalgia recipes & would love to produce a collection of them for Bakesale days.
I’m showing my age but back in my day, the School Chocolate cake came with Mint Custard & the Vanilla Sponge with Pink!
Any chance you could recreate for us please?
Also, I keep being asked if I have a recipe for the old Cheese Pie that everyone seemed to love back then – I’m sure you would be on a winner with that one too!!
Thanks. XX

I notice that this one had 8 eggs instead of 7. Thank you

I’m going to use this recipe to make a sheet cake to turn into a 2 layer number can,
My sheet pan is 16x12in so how much more would I add to get the correct amount of mix
Thank you
