The king of all cakes is indisputably the layer cake. Impressively tall, the layer cake boasts an eye-catching stack of uniform cake layers held together by swipes of sticky-soft frosting. How can you go wrong?
Layer cakes are especially well suited to celebratory affairs. With the upcoming holiday season in sight, I thought it was the perfect time to showcase some of the best layer cake recipes on the web. Any of these beauties would be an awesome addition to a holiday dinner party, dessert buffet, or family get-together. Time to get stacking!
