Add the butter, sugar, milk, flour, baking powder and chocolate spread to a microwaveable mug and mix well until completely combined. Scrape the sides down then microwave for 60 seconds. Allow to cool slightly before turning out to cool.
Put the cherries and the mixed spice in a microwaveable bowl ready to defrost for 30 seconds (when the cake has finished). You want it melted and with sauce.
Get a nice looking glass or pretty bowl ready.
Layer your trifle in as many layers as you like (I like more smaller layers but you can do one of each if you prefer). For example: Sponge, yogurt, fruit (& juice), spread, sponge, yogurt, fruit, spread, sponge, yogurt, then finish with a sponge sprinkle and any remaining fruit.
Tada! It is ready! Of course, you can chill in the fridge to get extra cold, top it with cream or add a chocolate sprinkle if you wish!
These store in the fridge for a couple of days (check your yogurt is in date). Quick snack, easy dessert... or even a special breakfast!
NB: The cake can be mixed and cooked in a muffin case or two on a medium heat for 10-12 minutes if you a microwave-less!
