A cake recipe as good as it is beautiful: the Layer cake vanilla chocolate ! Ideal for a birthday cake or simply to have fun ... With its icing in the shape of roses, the visual effect will be stunning: but rest assured, it is easy to achieve!
How to make this vanilla chocolate layer cake?
At the heart of the recipe, there is a very moist chocolate cake (and I insist on the very soft). It is cooked in three 15 cm molds or by making 3 successive batches if you have only one mold.
To achieve this, we first mix the dry ingredients on one side, then add the eggs and finally the milk. It is important that the ingredients are at room temperature. This makes it possible to obtain an optimal texture!
For the vanilla icing, I opted for a mixture cream cheese (Philadelphia) and very soft butter. If you don't like cream cheese, you can substitute with mascarpone.
To make the icing properly, all the ingredients must be at room temperature. We whip the butter so that it is creamy and add the soft cream cheese with a fork. We whisk so that the two combine and then add the icing sugar.
You can adapt the dose of sugar to your personal taste in the cake and frosting. Just know that the icing sugar allows the icing to stiffen (the butter too). If you reduce the sugar too much, the decoration will hold more difficult.
How to decorate the layer cake?
Thanks to the good consistency of the icing, we can obtain a decoration that is held. To make a roses decor as in my photos, you must bring a splined bush that you place in your sleeve pocket.
To make the roses, it's very simple: it's as if you were drawing a snail starting from the center outwards. Roses are thus formed before your eyes! You just have to cover the cake by repeating this gesture, and your decor is ready.
How to store this big cake?
This layer cake can be kept, once decorated, in the fridge for about 2 to 3 days.
If you want to go ahead, know that you can make the chocolate cake part ahead of time and freeze the levels for about 3 months. I don't recommend making the icing too early.
Otherwise, I advise you to make the chocolate cake the day before, and the vanilla icing on the big day. This will lighten the amount of work.
Other recipes to try
If you like this kind of big cakes or layer cakes, I also advise you to take a look at these recipes: Carrot layer cake with spices, Raspberry coconut layer cake, Layer cake vertical strawberry-almond, Layer cake lemon poppy, Layer cake gingerbread.

Layer Cake Vanilla Chocolate, The Easy Recipe
Ingredients:
Cake
- 160 g of flour
- 180 g powdered sugar (to be dosed according to your taste)
- 60 g unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1,5 cc of baking powder
- 1 pinch of salt
- 2 eggs
- 170 ml milk room temperature
Icing
- 300 g soft butter
- 600 g natural fresh cheese (Philadelphia)
- 140 g icing sugar (to be dosed according to your taste)
- 1,5 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions:
Cake
- Preheat the oven to 170 ° traditional heat. Grease and flour 3 molds 15 cm in diameter (or 1 mold if you make 3 batches). Cut circles of baking paper to put in the bottom of the molds.
- In a container, mix the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, cocoa, yeast, salt. Separately, loosen the eggs slightly with a fork then add to the dry ingredients. Finally, add the milk.
- Divide the dough into the 3 molds and bake for about 30 minutes. Then let cool, then unmold on a rack. Wrap your cakes in a film if making the icing the next day.
Icing
- Whisk the butter at medium speed until a creamy texture is obtained. Add the fresh cheese previously relaxed and continue to whisk. Incorporate the icing sugar, low speed, and little by little (this helps to control the final texture). The consistency should be rather firm. Finish with the vanilla. Refrigerate while waiting for assembly.
Installation
- Place a 15cm cardboard support on your serving dish and secure it with a little icing (optional). Ideally, take a turntable to put under your cake pan, the icing will be easier to achieve. Take the 1st cake, fix it on the cardboard support using a knob of icing. Cover it with a layer of icing then place the 2nd cake. Ditto, layer of icing then 3rd cake. Place a layer of icing on top and spread over the layer cake using a spatula to cover it completely. Be careful, this layer must be very thin, you can see the 3 cakes through. This layer is called "crumb-coat", it is essential because it avoids having cake crumbs in its final icing!
- Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Then, we attack the icing of roses!
- Put what remains of your icing in a piping bag fitted with a fluted nozzle (see material below). Hold the pocket perpendicular to the cake and start by making the center of the rose then start as a snail around this center: that's it your first rose is made! The rest is simple, you have to make enough roses to cover the sides and the top of the cake.
- Store in the refrigerator, then return to room temperature a little before tasting to make it more flavorful.

This is really beautiful ! I am jealous in front of so much control, you have no idea ...
By any chance, one day when you don't have better things to do, could you make a little video to show how you do your roses? Because hey, not that I have any mental retardation whatsoever, but I find it hard to imagine how to copy you despite your description.
In any case, strongly the next recipe :)

Hello lilie say I want to make this cake for November but the birthday will be with my aunt who lives 20 minutes from me ect that you think that I can take it and put it in the trunk its not afraid for the roses without cooler? how long do you have to leave it in the refrigerator for the roses to hold well on the cake? Thank you and see you soon
Lilie bakery
No, don't worry, the roses will hold up because the icing is well suited for this kind of decor. I recommend keeping it cool for at least two hours. @soon.
Audrey
hello, I want to make this cake which is beautiful. can you tell me how long in advance to take out the cake before serving it? because otherwise the biscuit will be very hard and dry, right?
Lilie bakery
Hello, indeed if it is consumed as soon as it comes out of the refrigerator, the cake will be hard and dry. I recommend taking it out half an hour before or even more. @ soon
Cécile
Magnificent, to test ...

In any case, to be redone.

Hope to read you soon!
Boussad
Good evening I made the cake but I did not have the height but the taste was there my three batches of cake do not swell at all must be made a dough for each mold or my amount of yeast was not correct I put 1,5 teaspoon .
grandmother
hello I am in the same case as boussad… not at all up… yet I did everything the same… I end up with 3 crepes… about a cm high… I am disappointed and I wonder if we must therefore double by 3 the proportions .. (3 identical molds which fit into my oven at the same time ..) thank you for your answer
Lilie bakery
Hello, indeed, it is strange because I have redone the recipe several times since and I always got the same result. If you increase the proportions you will indeed have taller cakes, but afterwards the slices will be enormous in height (because you have to take into account the different layers of cream). Up to you! @ soon.
Eeza
I had no problem with the biscuit, they must swell a little but not that much, once superimposed and mounted with the cream the volume is there !! Mine was soft and delicious….
On the other hand…. I have part of the cream which has slipped off the cake. I redid the roses and put them back in the fridge. but o time to take it out… .siuuuup! The part that I remade to slip. And I had to present my cake with a "balding" side ... maybe I had not put enough cream to cover this face from the start ....
grandmother
no day, I doubled the proportion is impeccable result for the cookies, a good height, but the roses have slipped ... I only had one side garnished ... which was very ugly, suddenly I re-smoothed everything, there it is at fresh and I lean for a royal icing to give it a nice look….
Julie
Hello,
I just finished the cake but the rendering is much worse than yours. The cream is slightly liquid and suddenly the roses are dripping… I used a kind of German St Morêt instead of the Philadelphia cream, apart from that I did not change the quantities.
Do you have any advice? Thank you in advance.
Julie
PS: your site gives me a lot of ideas and desires, but also a lot of frustrations because my achievements are not so pretty.
Julie
I just did it again. You just have to leave the cream in the fridge for more than 30 minutes. It needs to be warmed up a bit before using it otherwise the roses will “break”.
Lilie bakery
Hello Julie, I am delighted that you were able to find a tip for the cream, I hope your roses have had their effect! @ soon
little
Simply SIMPLY MAGNIFICENT with the famous roses ;-) I will have to train :-)
Vedani
Hello,
Thanks for the recipe, I just made the cake there very beautiful. I wanted to know if it is possible to change the vain for lemon?
Or can I add more coloring to have the icing of another color?
Thanks a lot for your help
See you soon
Lilie bakery
Hello, it is indeed possible to vary the tastes of this cake, you can add lemon extract instead of vanilla extract. For the dye you can try all the colors indeed! @ soon
Mina
Hello,
Beautiful cake I will test it for my girlfriend's birthday.
Can I replace the cream cheese with mascarpone? The cream cheese is a bit salty and I'm not a fan.
Thank you
Gougouch
Hello, I tried your cake it's to die for only I used a much larger mold so my cakes (3) were not tall enough and the icing I made it the same day it was good but not firm enough for my taste so my roses a little flagada (nothing to do with yours) so I would like some clarification. Does the fact of beating the butter for a long time have something to do with the final consistency of the icing? And is that reducing the amount of icing sugar does not get a better consistency and in the end, it is not necessary to prepare the icing a day before using it. Sorry to be so long but I'm really a fan of your blog and your recipes and I would like to improve the taste but the presentation not yet. Good continuation.
Lilie bakery
Hello, indeed, for the icing, the more icing sugar you put the more it becomes fluid, so reducing it could help you. Refrigeration also yes. @ soon
Sarah
Hello,
So I am tempted to make this cake for my birthday but I wonder if the frosting is not disgusting? Like buttercream
Lilie bakery
Hello Sarah, this icing is made from Philadelphia, it's less fat than buttercream and tastier, from my point of view. @ soon.
Djenna
Hello, Being not a big fan of Philadelphia I was wondering if it was not possible to replace it with mascarpone? if so would the quantity remain the same?
otherwise I am a Fan of your cake, it is very successful !!!
Lilie bakery
Hello, yes the Philadelphia can be replaced with mascarpone. You can try the same amount as the Phila, you can adapt for the next time! See you soon.
Jade
Ah great, thank you very much for these leads!

I really want to test the recipe for easter! but how many people is it for?

For a 30cm mold how much quantity
Mimi
Hello, I really want to test this cake for a birthday which is fast approaching :) The only fear I have is that the chocolate cake will be dry. I have a feeling he could be. is there a trick? replace cocoa with a tablet or something else? Thank you for this great site
Lilie bakery
Hello, no worries, the icing is there to keep the cake "wet", it makes a good balance. @ soon
lola
Hello,
Thanks for the recipe.
On the other hand, I have a big big problem with the cream cheese… as soon as I incorporate the icing sugar, the mixture liquefies and it is impossible to make roes with a pastry bag… they do not hold. An idea ?
Thank you
Lilie bakery
Hello Lola, to add hold, I advise you to add a little mascarpone or reduce the dose of icing sugar. Do not take light cream cheese because it does not work for the icing. @ soon
sarah
Woww! Breathtaking result. I have a quick question, will a mascarpone ice cream + liquid cream also work? I don't really like buttercream :)
Lilie bakery
Hello Sarah, the butter allows you to make well-marked roses, you can try with the mascarpone alone, but it might be less easy… @ soon
Maryline
Hello,
I want to bake this cake for my birthday. I would simply like to add whole raspberries between the layers of cakes, to bring a little fruit. What do you think ?
Lilie bakery
Hello, it's quite possible, you have to choose fruits that do not give too much juice, fresh raspberries are good. @ soon
Chloé
Hello,
I wanted to adapt mine with hazelnut cream, is it possible to put it in the creamcheese icing? :)

Hello Chloe, cream of hazelnuts yum! You can try, I think the result can be nice, @ soon

This cake is beautiful !! Well done really. Do roses require a lot of training or do you get the hang of it more easily than you think? ^^

Hello,
This cake, like the others, is magnificent! I was looking for ideas for my birthday and I found.
Little question: could I make the pink decoration with a 14 fluted pastry bag?
Thank you
Julie
Lilie bakery
Hello Julie, I do not know this socket, but from the moment it is fluted, it should work. The reference remains the 1M. @ soon

Hello the cake is beautiful! I would have a question, I don't see any butter in the recipe, is it normal ??
thank you in advance
Lilie bakery
Hello, yes that's normal, no need for butter here. @ soon
Stephane
Hello
I scrupulously followed your recipe but I end up with 1cm discs while in your photos they look bigger.
However, I used a 15 cm mold.
Is it a spoon and a half or a half spoon of yeast that should be added?
Thank you in advance for your reply
Stephane
Continuation of my 1st message
The recipe does not indicate it but when cooking a hat forms I suppose that it should be removed?
Cdlt
Lilie bakery
Hello, it is not normal that they are swollen in the middle and thin on the sides. The temperature of your oven is probably unsuitable (each oven has different specificities). I don't have to cut the tops of the cakes personally. @ soon
Stephane
Hello
Is the temperature too hot?
Lilie bakery
Probably yes. We have to do some testing. @ soon
Stephane
Hello
Being stubborn, I just started the cakes again with 1,5 teaspoons of yeast they are perfect, more puffy and more airy.
The most difficult step remains the icing a first for me.
Lilie bakery
Adding yeast is not necessarily the solution, because the cake discs are more crumbly and less stable when cut.
Stephane
Hello
Does the recipe say 0,5 or 1,5 tablespoons of yeast?
Cdlt
Stephane
Hello
Small problem with the icing ... Too liquid :-(
Why?
Thank you
Lilie bakery
Too runny = too much beaten or too much icing sugar or both. @ soon
Laura
Your cake is just beautiful !!! I'm going to go for my daughter's 1 year old, do you know how many people is your recipe?
Thank you in advance and by the way I love your blog
Lilie bakery
Hello and thank you, I would say about 10-12 slices.
Laura
Ah I was going to forget! Can they put it in the fridge without the risk that the cake will be worse and too hard and compact? This has happened to me before… ..
Lilie bakery
No, you have to remember to take it out before tasting so that it returns to room temperature. @soon
Lorène
Hello Lilie,
Thanks again for this recipe. It has had its effect both visually and taste. I just took the wrong socket, but it was nice anyway.
My next one will definitely be the red white blue checkered cake. So on the next comment ...

Hello, I just discovered your blog, looking for a recipe to make my first layer cake. I chose the triple rose layer cake which is splendid! I made my yierr icing evening and chilled it.

Lilie bakery
Hello, it is compact so that the roses look good in the pastry bag. @ soon
Delphine
Hello, I really like your blog, the cakes seem more delicious than the others.
I made this layer cake but my mold was 20 cm and I did not understand why it did not rise. I make it with sugar paste so I hope to get out of it, in short your cake is magnificent.

In full discovery of your site, and there I come across this pretty cake. On the other hand, I don't have a 15cm diameter mold but 20cm. In terms of quantities I leave like that or I increase, if so by how much?
Thank you for your sharing.
Lilie bakery
Hello Cherine, my quantities are mentioned for the size of the mold I use, if you want to increase the size of your mold, you must increase the quantities. I leave it to my readers to do their calculations :) @ soon

Hello,
I made this cake for my parents' wedding anniversary, and it was as beautiful as it tasted, everyone tasted it on looks and palate, thank you very much for this recipe.
Vic
Amazing recipe. The taste is perfectly balanced between the cake and the cream. I replaced the philadelphia with mascarpone, it was delicious. I am now reconciled from the frostings! However, be careful with the icing, it heats up very quickly and assembly is a bit complicated. It has to be really cold for it to hold.
Oum Yasser
Hello, thank you for this recipe, it's really fabulous, please can I have the recipe for a colored sponge cake, thank you where you just have to remove the chocolate from this same recipe and divide the dough then add the coloring thank you
keyci
hello I just made your cake. well beautiful !! simple and easy recipe but my problem is the philadelphia I had never tasted. it's special i don't like i eat without the icing. I can replace with mascarpone if so.
I put the same quantity? thank you so much
Lilie bakery
Hello, yes you can replace with mascarpone, same quantity :)

Hello !
Can we replace butter with margarine?
The thank you box
Lilie bakery
Hello, we must avoid replacements of this type. Generally in baking, never light things (neither for butter, nor cream).
Sonia
Hello I would like to make a 3 tier cake and garnish it with chocolate ganache but to cover it I don't know if it's better the chocolate icing or the ganache knowing that I would like to make roses on it thank you.
Lilie bakery
Hello, to make roses in general, I recommend a firm icing. It's up to you to test what suits you best in terms of texture and taste.
littlecherry
Hello Beautiful!!!! I plan to make the cake tomorrow can we make it plain by following the recipe without the chocolate? thank you for your reply
Aurelie
Bonsoir.
I will make this recipe for a birthday. However, the person does not like preparations based on Philadelphia or mascarpone. Do you have an idea for another preparation so that I can still make the roses.
Thanking you =)
Lilie bakery
Hello, I can recommend a ganache or a Swiss meringue buttercream.
Lise
Hello Lilie,
I love your site which inspires me bcp!
I'm going to test your recipe and wanted to know if by preparing the cream and making the roses the day before (for the next evening), they will hold and if the visual will be as beautiful?
Thank you :))
Lilie bakery
Yes I think about keeping cool;)
Lilie bakery
Hello Marine, it depends on everyone's tastes;) It's up to you to decrease as you want, be careful there is bitter cocoa so don't go down too much. Classic powdered sugar for this cake.
Juliette
Hello and thank you for your recipes!
I would like to make this cake but replacing the chocolate base with a caramel one. Do you think that in terms of taste / texture this Philadelphia cream would go with your base of the caramel cake used in the recerting of the pear caramel layer cake?
Thank you very much!
Kelly
Hello Lilie,
Wonderful cake!
Can I use the chocolate devil layer cake as a base? I have already tested this cake and my guests loved it! So I will cover the cake with this vanilla ganache. Do you think it will hold?
Thank you for your feedback, and Thank you for your superb recipes which I never tire of testing !!
Beatrice
Hello,
Thank you for your icing recipe. He is terrible. I used it for a blueberry layer cake.
Grace
Hello,
Thanks again for this wonderful recipe, I wanted to ask if it was possible to use mascarpone instead of the soggy Philadelphia ?!
thanks again
Elodie G.
I didn't think I would be able to do this given my low level in pastry making but it was a success! I was congratulated for the result, thank you Lilie for this recipe!
Sarah
Hello ! I am new to baking and I really admire your work. That's wonderful. My birthday is Wednesday and I plan to bake this cake. But is it possible to replace the Philadelphia buttercream with the mascarpone whipped cream you made for the layer brownie? So by doubling the proportions, I imagine?
Thank you in advance !
Lilie bakery
Hello Sarah it is quite possible to change the icing, what recipe are you talking about for the icing?
Marigold
Hello, I would like to do this for Wednesday and I wanted to know for how many people is planned for your recipe?
Lilie bakery
Hello, it's written in the recipe card, about 10 parts, that depends of course on the size of the parts. The cake is quite high. See you soon :)
Claudia
Hello, yesterday I made your devil cake and I wanted to know if this one is softer than this one?
Lilie bakery
Hello Claudia, the two recipes are very soft I couldn't tell the difference :)
Aurelie
Hello,
I want to make this cake for my baby's birthday.
In your recipe, you give the ingredients for the cake, is the dough to be divided into three or should it be made three times?
cordially
Aurelie.t
Lilie bakery
Hello Aurélie, the dough given is the one that fills the 3 moulds: they will be flat, it's made on purpose for the layer cake. See you soon :)
Kimberley
Hello,
Can we replace the Philadelphia cream with Mascarpone please?
Merci à vous
Lilie bakery
Hello Kimberley, yes absolutely, you can replace the Philadelphia with the mascarpone. See you soon :)
Sue
I would love to make this cake for a family birthday celebration. Our son is lactose intolerant and I was wondering if I could substitute the 170 ml milk in the cake with almond or oat milk? If so, is one better than the other? ie almond milk pours oat milk?
Lilie bakery
Hi Sue, you can totally substitute regular milk by plant milk inside the cake: oat or almond it doesn't matter.
Nanou78700
Hello to you
This weekend I am embarking on the creation of this marvel and I said to myself:
My family doesn't really like buttercream, can I alternate with white chocolate liquid cream and mascarpone? And in these cases should I do it the day before? And does adding coloring damage the cream in terms of staying power? Thank you for your return, have a nice day
Lilie bakery
Hello Nanou, I recommend a simple whipped mascarpone frosting in this case. White chocolate is more difficult to handle with the other two ingredients. If your dye is of good quality, it won't change anything. Here is the recipe for my mascarpone whipped cream frosting: https://liliebakery.fr/layer-cake-fraise/
