Steps:

• Put spoonfuls of batter on paper-lined cookie sheets about 2 inches apart. You can vary the size of them as much as you want. Make sure that you use your spoon to somewhat form them into circles because they smooth out but don't change shape than much while they're baking. Bake for about 10-15 minute or until batter is set. Try not to overbake them because they're best when they're soft and not quite golden brown yet.
• Remove pies/cakes from oven and allow to cool completely (about 30 minutes).

Put the two side of the cake together.
