Shwane ordered a rich, chocolate, layer cake. ... is this correct?
  

Top answer

Your sentence is understood. But I'd suggest "Shwane ordered a layered-chocolate cake". Rich taste is given in chocolate cake, it's not needed.

"a rich chocolate layer cake" is fine -- no commas necessary.

("A layered-chocolate cake" is not idiomatic.)

A cake made up of several layers of cream and cake is a Layered cake, although most people simple call it "layer cake".
