5. Add in the flour, baking powder and salt, continue to mix until combined.

To assemble the cake

1. Take cake ring of a diameter of 4/6” (or cut a paper circle). 
2. Place this on top of the sheet of cake (once it had cooled down) and form as many circles as possible based on the diameter of the circle chosen (with 6” it comes out 2 circles). 
3. Crumble up all the remaining cake that was not part of the circles and place it in a bowl.
4. Take a strip of acetate and hold it around one of the circles so that it fits snugly around the outside of the circles edge. 
5. Cut the acetate so that it would be long enough to join at the ends, and then used sticky tape to seal the acetate in one big loop (you can see how she did this on her YouTube channel - Chelsealauren).
6. Place this acetate standing up on some baking parchment. 
7. Place the crumbled cake in the bottom of the acetate and squash it down firmly to form a compact, circular cake layer. 
8. Spread 1/5th of the icing on top of this using the back of a spoon. 
9. Crumbled 1/3 of the cake crumbs over this, then spread another 1/5th of the icing on top. 
10. Put one of the cake circles on top of this, then icing, then crumbs, then icing, then a cake circle, then icing, then cake crumbs in a pile in the centre on top.

Final step

Let the cake sit in the fridge overnight (but a few hours might be sufficient)! When ready to serve, cut the acetate using scissors & peel it off the cake.
