Three layers cake

A three-layer cake is a delightful indulgence that elevates any celebration. The beauty of this confection lies in its structure, with each layer offering a canvas for delicious flavors and fillings.

Instructions :

Grease and dust three 20 cm (8″) square or round sandwich tins. Beat the egg yolks and sugar until creamy. Beat the butter until creamy.

Beat egg whites until it thickens. Mix the beaten butter and egg yolks together, gradually adding into the mixture the flour and egg white.

Add the vanilla essence. Divide this batter into three equal parts. Sieve the cocoa into one part of the batter, mix well and pour into a 20 cm (8″) sandwich tin.

Pour the remaining two parts of batter into the two other tins of the same size.
