- Then shape them back into rounds.

- Place the dough on a baking sheet, bake at 176°C for 9-12 minutes.

- Use a piping bag to pipe frosting onto each fully baked cake.

For a more appealing look, mix in some yellow food coloring.

You can store the cakes in a glass container and enjoy them gradually. Make sure to seal the container tightly to prevent the cakes from drying out. They're best consumed within about 5 days.
