Extras

1. 1You can make it with 2, 3, or 4 layers. I recommend making it 2 layers high, which will give you two cakes with these quantities. Or you can make a 3-layer one like in the photo (4 layers gets a bit tricky to eat).
2. 2You can dust it with unsweetened cocoa powder instead of skimmed milk powder, which is also delicious.
