There are so many reasons to love single-layer cakes. My favorite reason? No special assembly or decorating skills or tools are required! One-layer cakes like classic vanilla sheet cake, fudge-like flourless chocolate cake, and this reader-favorite banana cake are easy to make, decorate, serve, and eat. From summery strawberry shortcake cake to fall-favorite pumpkin cake and holiday-worthy cranberry pecan cake, you’ll find single-layer cakes in here for any time of year.
