I got this late 70s/early 80s book from a charity shop a while ago. A lot of families in the UK had it when I was a kid I think.

The recipes are fine, various flavoured sponge cakes with buttercream icing (albeit with gratuitous Cadbury’s product placement in every recipe). It’s the choice of cake themes in the book that’s a bit odd …
