The humble lemon drizzle has beaten the Victoria sponge to the top spot to be crowned Britain's best loved cake in a new study.
Researchers polled 2,000 Brits to reveal the nation's most loved cake, with lemon drizzle emerging as the clear favourite after 40 per cent of participants named it among their favourite teatime treats.
The citrus sponge beat off strong competition from chocolate fudge cake which came second (38 per cent) and carrot cake which placed third (37 per cent).
The American-born chocolate brownie came in fourth, leaving the classic British Victoria sponge trailing in fifth place.
Other British classics such as fruit cake, coffee and walnut and the good old-fashioned date and walnut cake made the final list of 20.

The survey of 2,000 people also revealed modern Brits enjoy a slice of cake on average three times a week, while 77 per cent agreed with the statement 'there's not much that can't be sorted with a cup of tea and slice of cake'.
In fact, 55 per cent percent of Brits (and 73 per cent of women) would chose a slice of cake over sex with their other half, while 77 per cent of the nation also described themselves as 'cake lovers'.
The average time of day we enjoy cake is 3pm and our favourite location is in a coffee shop with friends.
Yet the study commissioned by Protein World found there are downsides to the nation's passion for cake.
Around four in ten people (38 per cent) admit to feeling guilty after indulging in a slice of cake with the average Brit consuming 237 calories of cake or sweet treats every day.

The classic British Victoria sponge trailed in fifth place, according to the study of over 2,000 people by Protein World
So it's no surprise that 62 per cent of us say we would like to find a way to enjoy it without the sugar and remorse.
The study also reveals that, inspired by shows like Great British Bake Off, we truly are a nation of home bakers with around seven out of ten (68 per cent) of Brits saying they enjoy making cakes themselves.
We bake around four times a month and that does mean some failures, with 60 per cent of the population admitting to having had a baking disaster.
On average we burn two cakes a year and serve up a further two which just don't rise.
The average baker also loses one cake a year to the family pet, which eats it while it cools.
The chocolate muffin came in at sixth place with 31 per cent of the vote according to the new study by Protein World
Some 29 per cent of respondents named sticky toffee pudding among their favourite cakes (left), while coffee and walnut cake came in eighth place with 28 per cent of the vote (right)
Brand Manager for Protein World, Emma Frain, said: "This study shows we're not just a nation of cake lovers, we're a nation of cake bakers too, yet many of us don't have time to bake from scratch.
"To meet the needs of time-poor, caking-loving Brits who don't want to pile on the pounds every time they reach for a slice, Protein World has developed a new range of low-calorie baking mixes, meaning the nation really can have their cake and eat it.
Interestingly the survey reveals that as we get older, our love affair with baked goods fades.
Only 60 per cent of over-60s called themselves cake lovers, compared to the national average of 77 per cent.
Regionally, Sheffield came out as the cake capital of the UK where 70 per cent of inhabitants preferred a slice of cake to sex.
You may want to examine what's offered to you in Edinburgh, which has the highest proportion of baking disasters, with three quarters of the population admitting to a cooking catastrophe.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
