School cake

School cake (or school dinner cake) is a British cake. It is cooked in a rectangle-shaped pan. It is vanilla-flavoured. It has vanilla frosting and sprinkles (and sometimes pink custard) on top. It was a popular dessert in British primary school dinners. 

Vulture says students got the cake on Fridays if they were good that week. Wales Online says the dish is "synonymous with school dinners" and was served "for generations". Good Housekeeping said it is a "classic". The Manchester Evening News said it is "iconic". 

The cake was popular to make during the COVID-19 pandemic.
