This Pepperoni Pizza Layer Cake is a fun and creative twist on traditional pizza, layered like a cake for a visually impressive and delicious party treat. Featuring layers of flour tortillas with classic pizza sauce, mozzarella, pepperoni, and Parmesan, all stacked and ‘frosted’ with a creamy garlic-cream cheese mixture, this savory dish is perfect for pizza lovers looking for a unique appetizer or snack.

Ingredients

Scale

For the “Cake” Layers:

  • 2 large flour tortillas (about 10-inch)
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup sliced pepperoni
  • 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

For the “Frosting”:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the “Cake” Layers: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place one flour tortilla on a baking sheet and spread a thin layer of pizza sauce over it. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese and 1/4 cup pepperoni slices. Add a second tortilla on top and repeat with the pizza sauce, mozzarella, and pepperoni. Sprinkle the top layer with Parmesan cheese, dried oregano, and garlic powder. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  2. Make the “Frosting”: In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy, forming a spreadable frosting.
  3. Assemble the Layer Cake: Once the pizza layers have baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Spread a layer of the cream cheese frosting on top of one of the tortilla layers. Add another tortilla layer on top, and repeat the process, layering cream cheese mixture and pizza layers until all tortillas are stacked.
  4. Finish and Serve: Finish the top of the cake with a generous amount of cream cheese frosting, and garnish with extra pepperoni slices and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese for presentation. Slice the pepperoni pizza layer cake into wedges like a regular cake and serve immediately for a fun pizza-inspired party snack.

Notes

  • Use fresh, good-quality pizza sauce for best flavor.
  • Feel free to customize the toppings, adding mushrooms, olives, or bell peppers if desired.
  • Let the layered cake cool slightly before slicing to prevent it from falling apart.
  • This recipe can be doubled or tripled for larger gatherings.
  • For a crispier crust, bake the tortillas for a few minutes before layering toppings.
