  1. Make the cake batter

    • Cream the softened butter and granulated sugar in the stand mixer until pale and fluffy.

  2. Bake the layers

    • Divide the batter evenly between the three greased and lined 6-inch cake pans.
    • Bake at 175 °C until a skewer comes out clean.
    • Cool the layers in the pans briefly, then turn out onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
    Step 2

  3. Level and split the layers

    • Trim the domed tops of the cooled layers with a serrated knife.
    • Cut each layer horizontally in half to make six thin layers.

  5. Stack the cake
