## Episodes

### Episode 1: Cake

[edit]

The first episode is Cake Week.[40][41] For the first signature challenge, the bakers were given two hours to produce a Vertical Layer Cake made of sponge and icing. For the technical challenge, set by Paul, the bakers were tasked with making "The Great British Bake Off Cake" (the one seen in the credits each week[42][43]) in two hours, comprising two layers of moist chocolate sponge covered with chocolate ganache and fresh raspberries. A 3D cake replica of an animal of the bakers' choosing was set as the showstopper; the bakers were given four hours, the judges expecting the bake to be mostly sponge.
