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.

A man called Sigfredo Alvarez-Cega was arrested and charged with murder, with a bond set at $200K, as reported by TMZ.

Joss' husband, Tristan Kern de Gonzales, released a statement on the actor's official Facebook page claiming the argument began when the couple were checking the mail "at the site of our former home".

We were in the process of looking for a trailer and planning our future," Gonzales posted before adding he was with Joss when he passed and 'told him how much he was loved.' "To everyone who supported him, his fans, his friends, know that he valued you deeply. He saw you as family. My focus now is on protecting Jonathan's legacy and honoring the life we built together," he added.

Bird lands on Mike Peters's guitar during his funeral
The bird, identified as a Dipper - a short-tailed, stout bird, made its appearance when James Chippendale, co-founder of the Love Hope Strength Foundation, was paying tribute to his friend during the service at held on Thursday, May 29 at the Parish Church of St Bridget and St Cwyfan in Dyserth. Mike's wife Jules and Love Hope Strength both shared a reflective post on social media which said: "At Mike Peters' funeral James Chippendale, Mike and Jules' great friend and co-founder of the Love Hope Strength Foundation, spoke about the hope Mike gave people. Just at that point in the service a dipper bird flew into the church and perched on a guitar near James. That particular guitar was one of Mike's favourites. "It's been suggested that a bird flying into a church during a funeral service is 'a positive omen, a sign of the departed soul's journey to peace'. Rather wonderfully, some of those watching the bird suggested it seemed to be dancing when Dafydd Iwan sang 'Yma o Hyd'. "In addition, when Jules and family were at Mike's grave, a robin appeared. In Celtic Mythology, 'birds are considered intermediaries between the earthly and spiritual worlds. The robin, in particular, was believed to carry messages from deceased loved ones, bridging the gap between life and death'. "Whether you believe in the symbolism of birds at funerals or not, given Mike's love of nature and the outdoors this was a beautiful addition to a memorable day. "The day had been planned carefully, but this dipper bird has captivated the imaginations of many, showing that sometimes it's the things over which we have no control that have the power to make a moment in time feel even more special." Thousands turned out for The Alarm frontman's funeral on Thursday and more than 100,000 people have watched the celebration of Mike's life on YouTube. Many fans took to Facebook to share their thoughts on the bird, with many saying they hoped it had brought the family comfort. RELATED STORIES: One person said: "There was a big gasp in the crowd outside when the bird flew in and settled there - a wonderful moment." Another person wrote: "I totally believe in nature, especially birds, bridging the gap between loved ones. I hope it has bought comfort." David Weeks said: "The day before, a bunch of us did the waterfall hike and there was a dipper bird that just sat there while we were in the bridge. I was expecting it to fly away when we got closer but he didn't." Another said: "I noticed immediately while watching on YouTube - it was a sign, it had meaning, it had a purpose." The talented and beloved frontman of The Alarm died aged 66 from blood cancer on April 29. Mike, along with James, co-founded the Love Hope Strength Foundation, which raises funds and awareness for cancer centres around the world through music-related events and promotions and registers donors for the International Bone Marrow Registry. James said: "Mike didn't just sing strength, he built a movement around it. He instilled it in the boys, he lived it."
