Archives volunteer, Lisa, came across a recipe for “war cake”, so she made one for us to try at the volunteer lunch this month. To recreate an authentic feel, the story and recipe were written out – by hand! The cake was enjoyed by volunteers. If you try it yourself, please let us know how it went in the comments!

At left is a photo of the cake made by Lisa following the war time recipe. Below you can read the story behind the cake and the recipe.
