A ‘sandwich cake’ on This Morning today left viewers extremely divided on Twitter.
However, it wasn’t long until they demanded the “disgusting” looking savoury construction to be “put in the bin”.
One even said that it wasn’t fit for a food bank.
What happened on This Morning today with the sandwich cake?
Baking expert Juliet Sear joined hosts Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby on today’s show (Wednesday May 12).
But instead of rustling up one of her trademark sweet treats, she made a savoury sandwich cake.
When Holly was asked to cut it and reveal what it was, the host said: “Oh my god, it’s a sandwich! Is this not a cake?!”
“It’s a sandwich cake!” Juliet replied.

Furthermore, she then revealed that Phillip’s layers included Marmite and cucumber, cheese and chives, and BLT.
In addition to egg and rocket, Holly’s four-layered ‘cake’ included cheese and celery, and chicken and bacon layers.
Phillip then said: “Once you get your head around the weirdness of it, it’s really good!”
Juliet then showed them how to make one, using cream cheese as the ‘icing’. She even whipped in a touch of Marmite into Phil’s to give it a caramel colour!

Why would anyone do this? A cake is a cake. A sandwich is a sandwich. They should NEVER be the same thing! #ThisMorning
