Method
Step 1 of 7
Place cakes, still in their packaging, in the freezer for 30 minutes. This will make them easier to cut.
Step 2 of 7
Meanwhile, make the buttercream. Sift the icing sugar and cocoa together into a bowl. Beat butter with electric mixer until pale and creamy. Gradually add cocoa sugar mixture, beating constantly until combined. Add enough milk to achieve a spreadable consistency.
Step 3 of 7
Remove cakes from freezer and remove packaging. You will only use 1 chocolate and 1 plain sponge. Level domed tops of both then split each in half through the centre to make 4 cake layers.
Step 4 of 7
Using a 7cm round cutter, cut the centre from each cake. Using a 3cm cutter, cut the centre from these pieces and set aside.
Step 5 of 7
Using an 11cm small plate as a guide, divide the large cake ring in half to make an 11cm and a 15cm ring.
Step 6 of 7
Reassemble the cake layers alternating chocolate and plain rings.
Step 7 of 7
Place 1 layer on a cake board, securing it in place by dabbing a little buttercream onto the board. Spread a layer of buttercream on top with an offset spatula. Alternating the coloured layers, repeat the layers, spreading each with buttercream. Apply a thin coat of buttercream over the entire cake. Chill for 15 minutes.
