Cool the finished biscuit in a baking dish. You can even cool it upside down so that it does not sag under its own weight. After cooling, remove the biscuit from the mold, put it in a bag and put it in the refrigerator for several hours. This is necessary so that the biscuit rests and crumbles less when cutting. Before preparing the cake, cut the sponge cake into 4 layers.
