This easy school cake recipe is the ultimate birthday cake ever thanks to our shortcut sponge cake mix. It’s baked all in one tray and iced with a simple lemon icing then finished with lots of fun Jazzie sprinkles – just add candles and serve at a party or try warm with custard for a nostalgic pudding.
