When is a cake a biscuit, or even a pudding? From King Alfred to our modern-day love of the Victoria sponge cake and puddings such as Pineapple upside down cake, there's a cake and a pudding for every occasion. Jenni Murray talks to Alysa Levene, author of Cake: A Slice of History and Regula Ysewijn author of Pride and Pudding about the social history of cake. First broadcast on Woman's Hour, 7 April 2016.
