April Fool’s Cake
Is this April Fool’s Cake an April Fool’s joke? Yes, it actually is! Fool everyone with this savory, pizza-like dinner that looks like a frosted cake. A tomato pizza sauce base, combined with Italian sausage and pepperoni slices under a thick, creamy batter-like sauce over and topped layers of melted mozzarella cheese. Works wonderfully as a last minute dinner for the kids, too!

Recipe Reviews
A lot of steps to take just to make it but it was good.
It kept falling apart for me..not sure if I did something wrong but I followed the recipe. It does taste really delicious though, just kinda sad that it didn't look quite right.
I honestly thought this would not turn out looking as good as the picture, but in the end I managed to perfect it! Will totally be making this again.
Kids loved it and ate it all up before I could even snatch a second bite! Thanks for this pizza cake!
Tricked my dad today, he could've sworn it was a cake with frosting, LOL! Plan went perfectly!
Enjoyed everything about this meal, it was really fun to make, I did add a little bit more garlic salt and added some mayo as frosting too.
Super duper tasty and an amazing prank! Can't wait to try out the other April fool's recipes.
This is very tasty and not hard to make at all, would recommend for anyone looking to make a good prank this April fool's day but if you want to prank a bunch of people at once, I'd go for the meatloaf cake.
Great! Thanks for sharing recipe!
