Step aside mug cakes, McFlurries are the latest microwave dessert trend.
A new food hack is taking off on TikTok in the U.K. that uses a McDonald's McFlurry as the base for a simple cake.

Emily Canham shared how she transformed the spun vanilla soft serve ice cream with crunchy malted chocolate candy bits into a fluffy cake in under four minutes.
She combined the McFlurry in a bowl with self-rising flour, returned half the mixture into the McFlurry carton and microwaved it for two minutes. Once done she popped it onto a plate and was pleasantly surprised to show off the fluffy confection.
"It's so good," Canham said.
Another Essex-based creator, Amy Burrows, tried out the trend for herself and included the measurements this time.
@heyitsamess@emilycanham thank you so much what a game changer 👀 ##Taskmasterpiece ##Coming2America ##fyp

"I've weighed out 77 grams of self-rising flour," she said, which converts to approximately 5 1/2 tablespoons. But weighing the measurement will result in a more accurate bake.
After mixing it up and popping it in the microwave, Burrows was equally shocked to see that it "actually worked," adding that it turned out "so nice."
