- Take one slice of the sponge and soak in the Coffee decoction. Place it in a glass pyrex dish. Or layer it and gently pour the decoction over the sponge cake.
- Now layer the sponge with the cream & cheese mixture. Spreading it evenly on the sponge. Again soak another slice of sponge in coffee decoction and place it over the cream mixture in the dish. Again spread the cream mixture over the sponge. You can have as many layers you want. Only top last layer should be of cream mixture.
