School cake or school dinner cake is a UK traybake dessert consisting of a vanilla sheet cake with vanilla frosting and sprinkles, often served with pink custard.[1][2][3] It was commonly served as part of school dinner in primary schools in the UK.[1][2]

According to Vulture, the cake was served to students on Fridays as an inducement to good behavior through the week.[1] According to Wales Online, the dish is "synonymous with school dinners" and was served "for generations".[4] Good Housekeeping called it a "classic".[5] The Manchester Evening News called it "iconic".[6]

The dish was part of the pandemic baking phenomenon.[3][7][5]
