    Sandwich cake is already a term that means the same thing as layer cake. The classic combination of two layers of Victoria sponge with strawberry jam and whipped cream in between is called a Victoria Sandwich. Anyone arguing that a layer cake isn’t a sandwich is just illiterate, not a defender of semantic specificity.

        My spouse makes one that way that everyone we know goes wild about. Literally just yellow cake, cooked strawberries, and homemade whipped cream. We’re both baffled by how popular it is, but I guess the Midwest isn’t used to real whipped cream.
