Morrisons is now selling Toblerone, Nutella and Smarties mug cakes
Of all the sweet treats and guilty pleasures we like to treat ourselves to, the one that reigns supreme has to be cake.
But unfortunately, cracking out the measuring jug and weighing scales and covering the whole kitchen in flour, butter and cocoa powder is not as easy as just grabbing a snickers bar from the treat drawer.
Plus chances are it’ll always end up too dry, significantly undercooked or toppling over.
Definitely not a Great British Bake Off candidate over here.
So it was life-changing for all of us a few years back when some genius mind in the universe came up with the idea of mug cakes.
A moist, chocolatey, perfectly-cooked cake that you can dig into with a big spoon and not have to put away any leftovers? Basically our idea of heaven.
And now leading supermarket Morrisons is taking our go-to cake form one step further.
