  6. Line inside of the 4 QT bowl with plastic wrap. Put one of round cake per sheet on the bottom. Then place four sliced cake sheets along the side of the bowl.
  7. Pour the filling into the cake bowl. Place the rest of the cake sheet on top, cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
