2. Let the cake cool completely before proceeding.

Step 2: Crumble the Cake

1. Crumble the cooled cake into fine crumbs using your hands or a food processor.
2. Transfer the crumbs to a large mixing bowl.

Step 3: Mix with Frosting

2. Mix until the texture resembles dough and holds together when pressed.

Step 4: Shape the Cake Balls
