The tray bake has a vanilla-flavoured sponge and is topped with buttercream and rainbow sprinkles.
A slice costs 59p and it's in Lidl stores across the country until June 11.
Shoppers shared their delight at the new find on the Facebook group Snack Reviews.
One person said they "need to try these" while another wrote: "Shut the front door."
Another added: "I need a Lidl trip."
But others said the treat doesn't look quite the same as the ones they had at school.
One shopper said: "Doesn't look much like traditional old school cake, that's more of a butter cream on top rather than icing."
Another said they remembered their school cake having a pink custard topping.
What else is new in the Lidl bakery aisle?
Lidl is famous for its bakery section - and for good reason.
It recently announced the launch of the new limited-edition Strawberry Cheesecake Doughnut.

The treat is topped with strawberry cheesecake flavour icing.
Plus the viral Cheesecake Brownie has made a return.
Shoppers went wild for the snack on TikTok when it was first brought out last year.
Last month, Lidl released some Easter-inspired treats including Mini Egg Brownies.
There was also the Cinnamon Bun Blondie - although shoppers were divided over it.
Why do Aldi and Lidl have such fast checkouts
IF you've ever shopped in Aldi or Lidl then you'll probably have experienced its ultra-fast checkout staff.
Aldi's speedy reputation is no mistake, in fact, the supermarket claims that its tills are 40 per cent quicker than rivals.
It's all part of Aldi's plan to be as efficient as possible - and this, the budget shop claims, helps keep costs low for shoppers.
Efficient barcodes on packaging means staff are able to scan items as quickly as possible, with the majority of products having multiple barcodes to speed up the process.
It also uses 'shelf-ready' packaging which keeps costs low when it comes to replenishing stock.
Other retro snacks coming back
Retro-style snacks have been making a comeback recently and supermarkets have been taking advantage of it.
Mars Wrigley recently brought back Opal Fruits, an iconic sweet from the 80s.
The sweets had been axed 27 years ago but they're now back in store at Sainsbury's, Tesco and Morrisons.
Aero has also started selling Strawberry Flavour Melts, which are based on a strawberry flavoured Aero first launched in the 1970s.
Last month, Tesco turned the clock back to 1995 by bringing out a range of iconic products in their retro packaging.
Shoppers were able to grab classic items like Robinsons, Wagon Wheels and Rocky Bars all in their original packaging.
