If there’s one thing Australians love almost as much as a snag at Bunnings, it’s a good old-fashioned mud cake from Woolworths.
And just when you thought the supermarket bakery couldn’t possibly outdo itself, Woolworths launched a brand-new limited edition mud cake flavour for just $7. The verdict from early taste testers? Some call it ‘the best one yet’—and we’re here to give you the full scoop.
Woolworths’ mud cakes have long been a staple at birthdays, office parties, and ‘just because’ moments.
But this latest creation is a true crowd-pleaser. It blends the nostalgic flavour of freshly baked chocolate chip cookies with the rich, moist decadence of their signature caramel mud cake.
To top it all off, chocolate chip cookies are crowning the cake. It’s a triple threat for anyone with a sweet tooth.
Food reviewers Nectro Vlangos and Nick Vavitis were among the first to get their hands on the new treat, and their reactions were nothing short of enthusiastic.
‘I love when Woolworths brings out these limited edition flavours. It’s fun and everyone wants to taste it,’ Vlangos shared, noting that the cake has been flying off shelves in some stores.
Vavitis described the experience as ‘like a giant choc chip muffin with a nice caramel glaze’, and praised the richness of the chocolate chips.
Both agreed that the cake’s aroma was irresistible, and the taste delivered a nostalgic punch—’like a massive choc chip muffin’.
The icing, they noted, had ‘Caramilk vibes’, adding another layer of indulgence.
Let’s face it—cakes aren’t cheap these days. But at $7, this mud cake is a sweet deal that doesn’t skimp on flavour or portion size.
‘Cakes are expensive these days. This is an affordable price that doesn’t compromise taste,’ Vlangos pointed out.
For those who remember the Muffin Break chocolate chip muffins, this cake is a bigger, bolder version, with a caramel twist as a bonus.
It’s not just the foodies who are raving. Shoppers have taken to social media to share their excitement.
‘I need this in my life! Three of my favourite things ever—cookies, mudcake and choc chips,’ one fan wrote.
Another declared, ‘You had me at GIANT choc chip muffin.’
And for those who managed to snag one before they sold out, the reviews were glowing: ‘Ohhhhhhhhh my goodnessss! It really is so AMAZING!!!!!!! 10/10!!!!’
Of course, not every sweet treat is for everyone. Some shoppers were less impressed, with one critic saying, ‘This is NOT a cookie…It’s a chocolate chip muffin. [I was] super disappointed. Also, a lot of fake stuff in there. Read the label before consuming.’
Another food reviewer, Russ Eats, described the cake as ‘claggy’ and ‘flavourless’ and suggested shoppers ‘get any other mud cake’ instead.
As with all good things, this Choc Chip Cookie Mud Cake won’t be around forever. If you’re keen to try it, you might visit your local Woolworths sooner rather than later—some stores are already selling out.
Woolworths’ mud cakes have achieved cult status in Australia, with fans hacking, decorating, and transforming them for every occasion.
From the classic chocolate to the birthday cake edition, each new flavour sparks excitement (and sometimes debate) across the country. This latest addition is no exception, and it’s already dividing dessert lovers into passionate camps.
