  6. Cool in pans for about 10 minutes then move to a cooling rack to finish cooling.

  3. There will be plenty of filling to either torte the cake thereby giving you 3 layers of pudding in the cake or you can enjoy any leftover filling with some fresh fruit and whipped cream.
  4. Fill the cake with the pudding filling and decorate with your favorite buttercream.
