- Now for the assembly of the cake, open the packets of biscuits and take out the broken ones.
- Take the biscuit and give it a quick dip in the milk and start layering on the platter.
- Lay out the first layer of biscuit and then spread some syrup/sauce over it.
- Alternate with a layer of biscuits and sauce till you reach a desired height.
