Pepperoni Pizza Layer Cake Recipe

Ingredients:

For the Pizza Layers:

• 2 pre-made pizza crusts (store-bought or homemade)
• 1 cup pizza sauce
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup pepperoni slices
• 1 cup cooked ground beef (seasoned with salt and pepper)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Pizza Crusts:
   • Preheat your oven according to the instructions for your pre-made pizza crusts (typically 400°F or as specified on the package).
   • If using homemade dough, roll out two equal-sized pizza crusts.
   • Bake the pizza crusts separately for about 10 minutes or until they are just firm but not fully cooked. Set aside to cool slightly.
2. Cook the Ground Beef:
   • In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Drain any excess grease and set aside.
3. Assemble the Layer Cake:
   • Take one of the baked pizza crusts and place it on a pizza pan or oven-safe plate.
   • Spread a layer of pizza sauce (about ½ cup) evenly over the crust.
   • Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
   • Add half of the cooked ground beef and half of the pepperoni slices on top of the cheese.
4. Layer the Second Crust:
   • Place the second pizza crust on top of the first layer, gently pressing down.
   • Spread the remaining pizza sauce (½ cup) over this crust.
   • Add the remaining 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, followed by the remaining ground beef and pepperoni slices.
5. Bake the Pizza Layer Cake:
   • Bake the assembled pizza cake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the crust is golden brown.
6. Serve:
   • Remove the pizza cake from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
   • Slice into wedges like a cake and enjoy your multi-layered pizza creation!
