From gooey puddings to buttery pastries, Britain's baking heritage is a sweet affair. Time to rank the bakes that truly butter our crumpets.
Put the items in your preferred order.
Victoria Sponge
Two fluffy sponges hugging jam and cream, named after Her Maj herself. A village fΓͺte wouldn't be the same without one.
Sticky Toffee Pudding
Dark, date-packed sponge drowning in toffee sauce. The sort of pud that makes you forgive a rainy British summer.
Bakewell Tart
Shortcrust pastry, raspberry jam, frangipane and a cheeky cherry on top. A proper cuppa's best friend.
Eccles Cake
Buttery puff pastry stuffed with currants and spice. Small but mighty, and a bargain at the bakery counter.
Lemon Drizzle Cake
Zingy lemon sponge soaked in sugary syrup. The office birthday cake that actually gets finished.
