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."
SAVE HUNDREDS AT TESCO
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.
OTHER TESCO NEWS
Tesco recently sparked shopper fury after axing a dinner staple from shelves.
The supermarket has discontinued eight packs of own-brand beef sausages.
Customers were left equally miffed after finding out Southern Fried chicken flavour noodles were axed.
Confused eaters took to social media to find out where the popular snack had gone.
Writing in a Reddit thread one shopper said: "These are my go to quick food and my local Tesco has none on the shelf and they've disappeared off of the website too.
"I'll be gutted if they've discontinued them."
Another fan replied: "Probably, if you liked them, these stores always stop what people like."

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.

Moment shoplifter brazenly steals £200 worth of pistachios as shopkeeper blames viral Dubai-style chocolate trend for her 'unusual' spree
This is the shocking moment a woman allegedly stole £200 worth of pistachios from a local health store, with the shopkeeper blaming the viral Dubai-style chocolate trend for the 'unusual' spree. Damian Tapper, 44, who owns the shop in Leeds, West Yorkshire, was left in disbelief after the woman reportedly emptied the entire shelf and walked out without paying. CCTV footage captured the moment she stuffed her bag full of the pistachio nuts, with Mr Tapper reporting that the bizzare theft was not a one-off instance. He said the problem has got so bad, he has had to completely redesigning his store to have lower shelves to increase visibility. Mr Tapper said: 'We realised the whole shelf had been cleared, but only of pistachio nuts - often we do get professional shoplifters, but they'll just clear the whole shelf into their bag. 'But she specifically just targeted every single packet of pistachio nuts off of the shelf, but left all of the other nuts - which is quite unusual. 'We restocked the shelf, and within another couple of days she'd come back and done exactly the same thing, and cleared the other shelf of our own brand pistachio nuts.' Mr Tapper has blamed the viral trend of Asian-style desserts and Dubai-style chocolate, both of which include pistachios, for the thief's choice. He said: 'We're sort of guessing it's because there's such a viral trend for pistachios at the moment, partly because of Dubai chocolate and also the popularity of Asian-style desserts at the moment. 'We're guessing professional shoplifters know there's a market for when there's something they can sell quickly. 'We've had it in the past when certain things have been trending, say protein powder or almond milk, we've had all that stolen. 'It just seems to be that they know they can sell it on quickly. 'I don't think she's sat at home making pistachio cakes.' Now, Mr Tapper, who is worried that word will spread that his shop is an easy target, has made the footage of the incident public in a bid to deter thieves. The footage has already received over 10,000 views on the shop's Instagram page. Damian said: 'Once something like this happens it tends to escalate, because a lot of the shoplifters know each other, and the word spreads that you're an easy target. 'That's why we're wanting to do this publicly, so it shows them we're not an easy target.' West Yorkshire Police confirmed an alleged theft was reported to the force at Out Of This World in Leeds between 3.20pm on July 30 and 3pm on August 7.

Leeds boss Daniel Farke sees ‘business to be done' before transfer window closes
The newly promoted Premier League club, who face Everton in their season-opener at Elland Road on Monday, completed their eighth summer signing on Friday with the arrival of free agent Dominic Calvert-Lewin. Leeds had previously spent a combined total of just over £75million on Jaka Bijol, Sebastiaan Bornauw, Gabriel Gudmundsson, Sean Longstaff, Anton Stach and Lucas Perri, with Lukas Nmecha also a free signing, since winning the Sky Bet Championship title. 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣8️⃣ x DCL — Leeds United (@LUFC) August 15, 2025 Farke, who declared there was 'still business to be done', said: 'I like to speak openly and honestly about our status and I've given praise to our key people so far. We're on a really good path. 'We've done lots in central defence, central midfield and the goalkeeping position, also the full-back position. 'I've also made it clear we need to strengthen our squad, perhaps one more full-back, and especially the offence. 'With Dominic it's a first step, an important step for us of course. But there is still business to be done.' Leeds chairman Paraag Marathe, also president of club owners 49er Enterprises, said in May after promotion that 'we are going to build the best squad we can with every penny that we're allowed to spend'. While some fans have reacted negatively to Leeds' business this summer so far, Farke is convinced chief executive Robbie Evans, sporting director Adam Underwood and head of recruitment Alex Davies share the same ambition. 'Also, as a newly promoted side, you have to be careful in terms of what you can spend, in terms of profit and sustainability rules,' Farke added. 'You have to be patient because we won't do anything crazy that limits the club for the future. 'But I feel everyone at the club is very ambitious to make sure we have the best possible squad to give ourselves a chance of establishing ourselves at Premier League level. 'The last (few) seasons have proved how difficult it is for newly promoted sides to stay in this league and although several clubs have spent lots of money, it's not a guarantee you will survive. 'So you have to do it in a smart way and a sensible way and this is what we are trying to do. 'There is no doubt we need reinforcements, especially in the offence. 'Dominic is definitely a first step, but it can't be the only step. We need a few more.'
