ALDI has launched a dupe of a popular M&S and Tesco viral treat and it only costs £2.
The German discounter has plans to sell its own take of the popular dessert sandwich.
Shoppers went wild over the summer for the M&S Red Diamond Strawberry & Crème Sandwich.
The £2.80 luxury sweet bread sandwich came packed with strawberries and a whipped cream cheese filling and was inspired by a viral Japanese treat.
It was a limited edition snack, meaning shoppers can no longer get their hands on the treat.
Tesco then launched a birthday cake sandwich, featuring the flflavours of a classic Victoria Sponge but with birthday cake-style sprinkles inside.
But customers were left divided over its take on the viral snack with some loving it, however others branded it “disgusting”.
And now Aldi is the latest grocer to jump on the bandwagon.
Its new cake sandwich will be available in stores from October 13 and will cost £1.99.
Customers can expect to tuck into vanilla sponge, vanilla frosting, and rainbow sprinkles.
Julie Ashfield, chief commercial officer at Aldi UK, said: “The nation made it clear: cake beats crusts every time.
“We’ve taken the hint and delivered exactly what shoppers have asked for. True to form, our Cake Sandwich is simple yet delicious — creating the perfect pick-me-up treat that truly delivers.”
If you are keen to shop the treat you will need to visit a physical branch as Aldi does not have an online store.
You can find your nearest branch by visiting, stores.aldi.co.uk.
The snack is a limited edition product, so won’t be around for long.
