All you need to do is add 200g softened butter to 200g caster sugar and whisk it together. Next you need to add four large eggs and 200g self-raising flour. Once everything is mixed and combined, it should have the consistency of being able to drop off a spoon. There is also an option to add three tbsp of milk and a few drops of vanilla extract at this stage too. Then you can transfer the batter to a greased oven dish. If you have an air fryer, you should pop the dish in for 30-35 min at 150C - but if you are doing it in a normal oven it should be at 170C. Once it is baked and cooled, you can add melted icing sugar to the top and then sprinkles and voila - you are good to tuck in. With the summer holidays looming, it could be the perfect treat to make for kids and keep them occupied. Or why not make it just for you as a delicious throwback.

The tray bake had a vanilla-flavoured sponge and was topped with buttercream and rainbow sprinkles. 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." Sadly, the 59p slice was only in Lidl stores across the country until June 11.

Rise of the air fryer Air fryers have maintained their spot as the most popular kitchen gadget in the UK last year. Annual sales figures from Lakeland show sales of air fryers were up 1,175% on last year – when they were already soaring in popularity – as households continue their efforts to save energy on standard ovens. The retailer said: 'In previous years, their popularity could be attributed to consumers seeking healthier cooking options and fast cooking times. 'However, with the cost-of-living crisis continuing, air fryers have a renewed appeal as an efficient alternative to oven cooking.' The only other products that 'shaped the year' were heated airers – with sales up 51% – and heated textiles, such as heated throws and ponchos, Lakeland said, as households bought gadgets as an alternative to expensive dryers and central and electric heaters.

Shoppers go wild for new viral Dubai chocolate product in stores THIS WEEK – but will be limited to just 3 each
Read more on where you can find Lidl's Dubai chocolate spread CHOC JOY Shoppers go wild for new viral Dubai chocolate product in stores THIS WEEK – but will be limited to just 3 each Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LIDL'S highly-anticipated Dubai Style spread has finally hit the shelves - and it's sending customers into a spin. So much so, the bargain retailer has been forced to place a shopping limit on the exotic treat. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Lidl's Dubai Chocolate Cream Spread is £4.99 Credit: Lidl The Della Sante Dubai Style Chocolate Cream spread combines the flavours of the insanely popular chocolate but in spreadable form. That means you can slather it on toast, pile it onto pancakes, dip fruit in it or even spoon it from the jar. The sweet and salty pots cost £4.99 or £3.99 for Lidl Plus members, which is far more expensive than the store's other chocolate spreads. However, the price tag is not deterring customers, and the shop has implemented a strict three-jar-only policy. One shared a snap of the toast topping on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group. Followers flocked to the comment section to tag friends and family in the post. Lidl has said it will be available "while stocks last" - so you may want to get in quick. When Lidl launched its Dubai-style chocolate bar back in March, shoppers were queuing outside shops to get a taste. The Sun spotted a queue outside the Gosport, Hampshire, store at 8am with shoppers eagerly waiting for the doors to open. Chocolate fans have been going crazy for supermarket dupes of the expensive Dubai chocolate bars and they've been going viral on social media. Lidl's version was the cheapest when it was brought out at £3.99. Foodies race to buy new Dubai chocolate Easter egg in popular supermarket - the 'filling is crazy' and it's selling FAST Before it arrived in stores, the chocolate bar had been available on Lidl's TikTok Shop. It wasn't around for long though as it sold out in a mere 84 minutes. Numerous supermarkets and bargain stores have been jumping on the Dubai-style chocolate trend. One of the most-anticipated was the M&S version, which it turned out was a new take on the viral Big Daddy chocolate bar. The Big Daddy Pistachio is on the pricier end, costing £8.50 for a big 280g bar. Similarly posh supermarket Waitrose also released a version for £10. Despite the price, it was so popular the retailer had to impose a two-bar limit on shoppers. Sainsbury's started selling a Lindt version of the Dubai-style chocolate for £10. Iceland is selling two different bars: the Nelino Dubai-Style Chocolate (£2 for 62g) and Bolci Dubai Chocolate (£5 for 100g). Bolci's Turkish-made treat is also available at Morrisons. Meanwhile Home Bargains is selling Dubai Chocolate Cookies for the bargain price of £1.25.
