Ready, set, bake! We're onto the 14th series of The Great British Bake Off but we're still just as excited to see what chaos unfolds. Alison Hammond will be joining the show to present alongside Noel Fielding and Prue Leith and Paul Hollywood remain as judges. But is there a winning formula to get the Bake Off crown? After all, there's now been 13 previous champs so there must be something which means they are all hitting the jackpot.
To crack the conundrum, Betway has analysed the most popular flavours used in all 13 series winning bakes. As it turns out, lemon, chocolate and orange are used the most in finalist bakes- lemon was used in their last masterpieces 9 times overall. So, keep your eyes peeled, the winner might just use any of these three flavours in the final this year.
Chocolate and orange were used separately 8 times across the final episode by Bake Off stars. Elsewhere, almond, strawberry and raspberry come in joint third when it comes to the most popular flavours. An example of a winning bake is Nadiya Hussain's "My Big Fat British Wedding Cake" showstopper in 2015 which was flavoured with lemon.
Peter Sawkins also used lemon for his Bonkers Bake Off Bubble Cake in 2020. It might come as a surprise to you but coconut, ginger and pistachio have only been used once in previous finals. Even if you're a lover of all those flavours, it seems they're not popular at all among the cooks.
