Haven’t experienced these delightful mugs of joy yet? According to social media buzz, you’re truly missing out.

The White Mill Cake in a Mug offers a tempting array of flavours: Triple Choc Brownie, Double Choc, and Sticky Date.

Simply add milk, microwave, and you’ll have a gooey, indulgent cake in minutes. It’s like enjoying a cake instantly, with minimal effort!

‘Oh no!!! They are soooo good! And I just got over my addiction to them,’ one customer shared.


The ALDI group was thrilled to the point of excitement, similar to a child in a lolly store, upon discovering that this dessert was back on the shelves.

One Aussie shared her secret to make them even better: ‘I make as per pack, then once cooked, I get a few pieces of caramel chocolate and push them into the cooked cake while it’s hot. Wait a few mins to cool a little, then top with a dollop of cream. You’re welcome.’

Social media creator Clayton Jay revealed his tip for enhancing the Sticky Date Brownie Cake in a Mug by mixing in Misty's Brandy Salted Caramel sauce, almond milk, and Ben & Jerry's S'wich Up ice cream. He assured his viewers that this would make it ‘Absolutely delicious!’

‘Scoop of ice cream on top and a perfect winter treat,’ another fan chimed.


It's not just adults who are excited—kids are enjoying them as well!

‘My grandkids just love the fact they can cook their own cake. Like everything else at ALDI, here one day, gone the next,’ one grandparent shared.

The return of the cake has generated such buzz that it even reached the ‘please-god-let-there-be-some-left’ level of excitement.

‘Thank God! I've been waiting for this!’ one customer remarked, while another wished, ‘Let there be some left when I go shopping [on] Thursday.’
