And the dessert comes in £4 cheaper than the Leeds-based company’s £20 original slice.
The Bertha cake, formerly known as Bruce and now with a tweaked recipe, has taken social media by storm since its launch.
Instagram and TikTok videos of people trying the cake have notched up millions of likes.
Now, Tesco shoppers can’t get enough of the supermarket’s own version, which launched this week.
Instagram account newfoodspotteruk posted about the new £16 cake, with shoppers quick to comment.
Some can’t wait to give the supermarket’s dupe a try, with one posting: “Running to Tesco for these.”
Another added: “This is actually the most exciting new food post I’ve ever seen oh my god.”
A third chipped in: “Get in I can’t wait to get it.”
But not everyone is convinced by the new arrival, with one posting: “Get Baked UK does it better. Bertha supremacy.”
Meanwhile, another posted: “Pass, I’ll stick to the original Bertha thanks.”
Tesco said the Bertha chocolate cake dupe comes with 10 servings each containing 375 calories.
It is available across 480 stores in the UK while shoppers can order it online too. The cake is a permanent addition.
The cake is made up of 24 layers and made by Studio Bakery.

How to save money at Tesco
EVERY little helps when it comes to saving money at Tesco.
The Sun’s Head of Consumer Tara Evans explains how you can save money at the UK’s biggest supermarket.
Clubcard points
Tesco first launched it’s loyalty scheme back in 1995. You get one point for every £1 you spend in store. If you spend points in store then 100 points is worth £1. You can spend your points via its reward partners and get triple and even sometimes quadruple the value.
Extend Clubcard points
You can find lost Clubvcard points and find the last two years of unused vouchers by logging into the Tesco Clubcard site.
Clubcard prices
If you don’t have a Clubcard then you will miss out on its cheaper Clubcard prices. However, don’t forget to check prices before you shop because it might not be cheaper than elsewhere, especially on big value items like washing powder and loo roll.
Yellow stickers
Shops do vary the time they reduce groceries with yellow stickers but Tesco tends to be between 7pm and 9pm.
Save money if you shop online
If you get your Tesco food shop delivered then it might be worth buying a delivery saver pass to help cut the cost of delivery fees.
If you live near a Tesco then you can get click and collect slots of as little as 25p, so it might be cheaper than getting your food delivered.
