Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large pizza dough balls (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 cups pizza sauce
- 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup sliced pepperoni
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and line three 9-inch round cake pans with non-stick cooking spray for easy removal.
- Roll the Dough: Roll out each pizza dough ball into a circle that fits the pans. Press each dough circle into the prepared pans, ensuring the edges are slightly raised to hold the toppings.
- Assemble the Layers:
- For the first layer, spread a generous amount of pizza sauce over the dough. Sprinkle 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, a handful of cheddar cheese, and a layer of sliced pepperoni. Repeat for the second pan.
- Top Layer: For the final layer, add pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, pepperoni, and sprinkle with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.
- Bake: Place the pizza layers in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Assemble the Cake: Carefully stack the baked pizza layers on top of each other, starting with the first two plain layers and finishing with the fully garnished top layer. Let the layer cake cool slightly before slicing.
- Serve: Slice your Pepperoni Pizza Layer Cake like a traditional cake and enjoy this fun, cheesy twist on pizza night. Perfect for parties and family dinners!
Notes
- For an extra burst of flavor, feel free to add extra toppings like mushrooms, bell peppers, or olives.

- You can substitute the pepperoni with other meats like sausage or chicken if preferred.
- Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for 2-3 days, and reheated in the oven or microwave.
