30+ Layer Cake Recipes for Cake Decorating

Often we have a wonderful cake recipe but not the right size pan, which can be frustrating. That is why I had the calculated recipes for you. Since then, I have discontinued those PDFs. Because now you can have all my recipes calculated for you no matter what pan you have and how many servings you need. Here are 30 plus layer cake recipes that you can use for cake decorating with buttercream, and ganache as well as fondant.

Wondering how to adapt my layer cake recipes to a different size pan? — Calculated Cake Recipes by Veena Azmanov, Layer Cake Recipes, How to adapt cake recipe for your cake pan

What is the one thing you hate when you finish mixing your cake batter? The realization that this is not going to give you the height you need. Even more frustrating is baking a full batch again for that little extra cake layer. This used to be my nightmare when I just started off my cake decorating career.

I’d bake using online calculators to calculate my recipes which never got the results I was looking for. Why? Because most people bake 1 1/2 inch cakes for their celebrations. And yet, if you are a cake decorator like me then you want a tall cake! You want a minimum 2-inch cake, more not less.

As a general rule, I love tall cakes. And while my cake orders are often regular 4-inch cakes, I tend to deliver more but never less. Tall cakes are so much prettier!!

Look at my recent Blossom White Wedding Cake (the photo below). These are all 4-inch tall tiers. Close your eyes for just a minute and imagine this same cake with 6-inch tall tiers. Can you imagine how much more of a wow factor those 6 inches would add to this cake? I KNOW!!!

About my cakes

By now, you know that I bake from scratch and all my cakes are rich, full-fat and decadent. There are no cheap recipes and no cost cutting when it comes to my cakes. My customers expect the highest standards, so I must deliver a high-value product. So yes, if you use my recipes they are going to be butter/oil, eggs, sour cream, buttermilk, and all that extra.

Some other cake decorators tell me that my cake recipes are great, but they are not cost effective. As a business, they want to make money. That’s not how I work. I’m in the business of providing my customers great value and memorable moments. Therefore, I give my customers what I give my family. Rich, decadent and indulgent desserts. Like they are supposed to be. There is a time for low-fat and there is a place for a diet. And yet, when it comes to my customers they get the best. Unless a customer specifically orders something else, I will make them my standard cakes.

First of all, I make great cakes. Then I calculate the cost and set. the price. Yes, it makes the cakes expensive, and yet, it also brings the right customers to me. And brings back for more cakes. I am proud of my cakes and I want to make them for customers who appreciate good quality, not low cost.

My online shop for calculated recipes – has been discontinued

I recently discontinued my online shop with calculated recipes. And yet, that’s not because I don’t want to share the recipes. Those recipes were always free on my blog. The PDF versions had the same recipes calculated for different tiers. So those who want different sizes could have more options. The recipes were already free on the blog.

Until a few years ago, calculating cake recipes was a big job. So I had the calculated recipe in a pdf format sold on my online shop for a small fee. And yet, recently, I installed a new recipe card that can calculate the recipe for you. Hence, you do not need to buy the pdf from me.

Adjust Servings

Now, all you need to do is change the number of servings in the recipe card below. See that little box that says “adjust servings here”? Just change that to the number of people you need to serve or the cake pan serving you need. For example, if you need a 10-inch cake that serves 36 people, simply change the number from 8 to 36.

How do you know what is the servings size of a cake pan?

I already shared this with you previously in my post with all the charts. Cake Serving Chart Guide and Popular Cake Tiers. Here are a few examples to help you. These are wedding cake portion sizes, not party cake sizes. I use these when I make fondant or buttercream cakes for wedding and celebrations.

6″x 2 round – 12 servings
7 x 2 round – 18 servings
8″x 2 round – 24 servings
9 x 2 round – 32 servings
10 x 2 round – 26 servings

Grams vs. Cups

Additionally, you can also change the measure from metrics to US customary. So for those of you in the US, you have your cups and ounces and those of you in Europe, Asia, UK, and India can have the gram measurement. Can you see those two black boxes that say – Metric and US Customary? Just play with those to get the measure that suits you best.

How do you adapt a recipe for different cake pan sizes? (save/pin)

A general guide for cake batters and size

4 cups cake batter – (1 x 8-inch round), (8 x 4 loaf pan), (1 x 7-inch square cake)
8 cups cake batter – ( 2 x 8-inch round cakes) (1 x 9-inch tube pan) (10-inch bundt pan), (2 x 7-inch square cakes)
6 cups cake batter – (1 x 9 inch round cakes) (1 x 8-inch square cakes)
11 cups cake batter makes – (1 x 10-inch round cake) (2 x 8-inch square cake) (3 x 8-inch round cakes)

For cupcakes

4 cups batter makes 12 cupcakes
6 cups batter makes 15 cupcakes
8 cups batter makes 24 cupcakes
12 cups batter makes 35 cupcakes

My Layer Cakes

If you see my layer recipes I usually have two recipes, sometimes three. One is an oil-based cake, while one is a butter-based cake. There are times when one is better than the other, right?

For example, for my wedding cakes, that need to travel or in the summer humidity, I go with my butter-based recipes. And yet, my small cakes, single-tier cakes, two-tier cakes, and in winter I use my oil-based cakes.

I love the moisture component that oil-based cakes bring, but I also love the rich flavor component that butter-based cakes have. While I want to be a successful cake decorator, serving delicious cakes to my customers, I also want a stress free profession. These little things can make a huge difference.

So here is a list of over 4o of my layer cakes recipes that I use as a cake decorator when I have orders for my business. I also have a huge selection of coffee cakes, which I often use when I need to make cakes for family and friends. I will discuss those below after this list so you don’t get confused.

Hi Veena,
First of all I would like to thank you for sharing all the wonderful recipes and tutorial sessions. It’s rare for people to part with such information. I appreciate you for sharing and helping home bakers like me. I have tried your eggless chocolate sponge cake recipe. It’s really yummy.
The customer loved it too. I would like to request you to share the eggless versions of the recipes or mention what we can use as egg replacers as 98% of our cakes are eggless. Thank you so much and God bless.
Regards,
Sonia

  Thank you, Sonia. Happy to hear you enjoy my recipes and appreciate my efforts.
  I only post tried and tested recipes. While I’d like to share more eggless recipes on the blog, the truth is that I do not bake many eggless recipes at home.
  And since I have not tried the alternatives It’s hard for me to suggest these replacers or substitutes.
  I hope that makes sense. I do encourage those who have used my recipes with substitutes and replacers to let us know in the comments so others may see them
  Thank you.

I agree with you Veena. Your recipes are valuable.
I am terrible at baking and I rely on good recipes that I know are full proof. I have been very grateful for all that you have done for new cake decorators like me. I started my business only two years ago and your blog is a go to place for me when I need help.
I have purchased six of your basic calculated recipes so far and have tired them all. I love the lemon myself very much and the Red Velvet comes out perfect every single time.
Thank you so much for sharing your recipes even if for a small price. I would rather pay then go on a trial and error hunt on the internet for the right recipe.

Wow. There was a time when everything on this blog was FREE. I use to make your recipes all the time.
I love your basic vanilla cake, simple moist chocolate cake, orange cake, lemon cake, espresso cake, strawberry cake. I still only your buttercream recipes. The best thing about your recipes is that they were full proof, they worked every single time. A real blessing to newbies like me. My customers were happy I was happy.
Now everything is on a PDF !!!!
I made my first gumpaste shoe using your tutorial, giant cupcake use to be free now it’s on a paid video. Minion cake, Dinosaur cake, Princess cake.
This use to be my go to blog for learning and inspiration. Now I have to pay for the same things that were once free.
I think that’s being greedy. I’m really upset. i came looking for the Lemon cake I loved very much now I see it’s on a PDF.

  Hi Brenda,
  I’m so sorry to hear you say these things. What would have been a great compliment is now a complain.
  First – The free stuff is still FREE.
  The Basic Vanilla cake, Simple Moist cake, Orange, Lemon Cake, Espresso cake, strawberry cake are still all free.
  So are all the Buttercream recipes. I’m so happy to hear that you and your customers were happy.
  The tutorials that were free are still free.. Gum paste shoe, Giant cupcake is on both a free pictorial as well as a paid video, so are the Minion, Dinosaur and Princess cake.
  As for my online shop. I shouldn’t really have to explain this but I will.
  This is my profession hun.
  I’m sure you charge for your cakes? Right? Are your cakes free? You use my free recipes but are your cakes free? NO!!
  This is my bread and butter too!
  Nothing comes free for me. My blog hosting is not free, the web developers that manage my blog need to be paid too.
  Do you know how long it takes me to sit and calculate each recipe? Not one hour but sometimes a couple hours to calculate 20 to 25 pans.
  Not to mention these are my personal recipes. It has taken me years to try and test them to perfection for my customers.
  I have shared a few recipes on my blog for free but it would be unfair to expect me to share all my recipes for free.
  If I calculated the true value of my recipe and the hours it took me to calculate recipes for each PDF – trust me it would 10x the price it is now.
  It is sad that you used the word greedy and upset for all that you say this blog has been to you so far.
  Wish you all the best and I hope some day you will appreciate and respect the value of not just your hard work but others as well.
  Thank you

Your time is worth a price as well! Thank you for sharing your secrets!!!!!

I think a lot of people don’t realized that all my recipes weather free or paid for are tried and tested. So they presume all my recipes just come off the back of my head so I should not charge for it lol. Thank you so much for your comment. Appreciate it much
