Co-op has become the first UK retailer to stock Dot Cakes, the viral dessert sensation that has attracted millions of fans globally on social media platforms like TikTok. The cakes went viral after a video from a New York bakery gained traction online, prompting many people to create their own versions at home.

The dessert is a small cake served in a cup, pot or ramekin, layered with sponge and buttercream, then topped with a thick layer of tiny round sprinkles. Co-op will stock its own version in more than 1,600 stores across the UK for a limited period of six weeks.

The retailer offers two flavours. The Raspberry & Vanilla Dot Cake (166g, £2.50) features vanilla flavour sponge layered with raspberry jam and vanilla flavour frosting, topped with multi-coloured sugar decorations. The Chocolate & Salted Caramel Dot Cake (177g, £2.50) has fluffy chocolate flavour sponge layered with salted caramel and chocolate caramel flavour frosting, finished with white and milk chocolate crispy balls.

Kevin Sargent, Co-op's senior product development manager for cake, said the cakes tap into 'everything people love right now – aesthetically pleasing, nostalgic treats that are as fun to eat as they are to share online'.
