sandwich cake

Savory stacked slices

A sandwich cake is a cake made of two or more layers with filling between them—typically jam, cream, or buttercream.

The name reflects how the layers sandwich the filling, like bread around meat.

Victoria sponge is the classic example: She made a sandwich cake with raspberry jam and fresh cream.
