9. Now add the flour by using a spoon and having your mixer on the lowest speed, once combined turn up the mixer to high and beat for 20 seconds more only.

10 Divide your cake batter into 3 x 8-inch  lined and greased sandwich tins.

11. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes until golden brown and firm to touch.

12. Allow the cakes to cool slightly then remove from the tins and cool on a wire rack.

Putting the cake together

13. Place one of the sandwiches on to a cake board or cake plate.

14. Smooth a layer of the Cremé Pâtissière on and then top with another cake sandwich .reapeat this process and top with the final cake sandwich.

15. Make up the glacé icing by adding a small amount of water to the Sugar and Crumbs Natural Flavoured until it is a thick but spreadable consistency.

16. Carefully spread the icing on top of the cake.

17. Sprinkle the toasted desiccated coconut around the edge of the cake approximately 2 to 3 inches wide, this will leave you a circle of glacé icing in the middle. alternatively, you can just sprinkle the toasted desiccated coconut all over the top of the glacè icing.
