• Prepare three round cake pans and bake as directed, however, since each has less batter, the baking time will not be as long.
• Allow the cakes to cool completely.
• Once cooled, crumble each cake in it's own bowl.
• Mix one tablespoon of vanilla frosting into each bowl of cake. The mixture should be similar to play dough. If it does not stick together, add a little bit more frosting.
