"London Fields dessert spot Bennys serves its slab of school cake with ice cream or custard. If you make the wrong choice, you can’t sit with us. There’s sprinkle sponge and chocolate on the menu, but the sweet, light, airy cake topped with jam and desiccated coconut is the one that’ll really transport you back to those long foldaway tables. Choose Bird’s-like custard as your topping and they’ll drench the cake in it, just like your favourite dinner lady used to." - jake missing, heidi lauth beasley, rianne shlebak, daisy meager
