The teacher would bring in all the ingredients in the morning, the whole class participated in making the cake, then it was put away in the school's fridges, and in the afternoon we all got a yummie dessert!! It was also the alltime favourite birthday cake. To add drama, we got it sometimes in "castle" form, with walls and towers and all. In Belgium we called it "petit beurre cake" or "Chinese wall" or simply "butter and cookie cake". As a child, I’ve made the cake several times in class, usually by the end of the year.
