A layered cake is a type of cake that consists of multiple layers of cake stacked on top of each other, often separated by frosting or filling. These cakes can be made in various flavors, such as chocolate, vanilla, or red velvet, and are typically baked in round or square pans. The layers are assembled to create a tall, visually appealing dessert. Layered cakes are commonly used for celebrations like birthdays, weddings, and anniversaries. They can be decorated with icing, fruits, or edible flowers, making them not only delicious but also attractive. Popular examples include wedding cakes and birthday cakes.
