No-Bake Layered Cake with Cooked Sour Cream Frosting

This No-Bake Layered Cake with Cooked Sour Cream Frosting is a decadent yet surprisingly simple dessert that comes together without ever needing the oven. A tender, pan-fried dough becomes the base for silky layers of sweet, cooked sour cream frosting—resulting in a creamy, indulgent cake that is cooled for 6 hours before serving. Perfect for warm days or when you want cake without baking, it boasts a lush texture, rich flavor, and an impressive finish. It’s quick enough for weeknights, elegant enough for guests, and easy enough for first-time bakers.
