SWEET VICTORY: WARTIME CAKE RECIPES (HB)

In wartime Britain, cake was more than just a treat - it was a way to bring people together, and a small but meaningful defiance of hardship. Despite strict rationing, communities rallied together to share resources and recipes to ensure birthdays, weddings and even afternoon teas could still be celebrated. Sweet Victory is a collection of authentic wartime cakes recipes, drawn from IWM's archives, including carrot cake, ginger cake, traditional sponges, and an inventive sugarless cake.
