A gorgeous, towering layer cake means one thing: This is special. Here, you’ll find our best multi-layered cakes from classics like vanilla, carrot, coconut, and red velvet to modern cakes inspired by Irish coffee and rich hot chocolate. Anything that goes between the layers of a cake (or inside the cake, if it’s rolled up) is called the filling. Many cakes use more than one type of filling—either all together, such as whipped cream and berries between each layer, or alternating fillings between different layers, such as ganache between some and buttercream between others.
