Old school cakes ($0.80 each)!
Two traditional cake-stall treats: a crumb-coated cream sponge and a chocolate-sprinkle cream cake. $0.80 each.
A cheap dose of nostalgia from an old-school cake stall: a couple of slices at $0.80 each. 🍰😋
What we had:
- A crumb-coated cream sponge
- A chocolate-sprinkle cream cake
These traditional cake-shop treats are the ones that have stayed the same price for years, and they take me right back to childhood. The crumb-coated cream sponge was the first pick: a soft, light sponge wrapped around a band of fresh cream and rolled in golden toasted crumbs for a nutty bit of crunch on the outside. Plain, fluffy and gently sweet.
The chocolate-sprinkle cream cake was the other half, a domed chocolate cake filled and topped with cream and coated all over in chocolate rice (those little chocolate sprinkles). More chocolatey and a touch richer, the kind of thing kids go straight for.
Neither is fancy, and that is exactly the charm: soft, simple, lightly sweet, made the old way. At 80 cents apiece you can grab a few different ones and try them all, which is half the fun. Worth supporting these old stalls while they are still around.
Overall: 4.4 / 5. 😋👍🏼 A soft crumb-coated cream sponge and a chocolate-sprinkle cream cake, old-school and lovely. Would re-visit.
