Layer Cakes

These layer cake recipes are the ones I reach for when I want a cake that feels a little more special, whether it’s a simple cake for sharing or something made to mark an occasion. Each cake is made with an emphasis on flavor, texture, and cakes that are satisfying without being overly fussy.

From the bright, fruit-forward blackberry lime cake, to the rich and nostalgic coconut cake, and the elegant Spanish almond cake, this collection highlights homemade cakes from scratch that are as enjoyable to bake as they are to share.
