Whenever I saw people posting water melon cakes or cookies,I weren't interested but just admired their creativity and hard work.Lately,I don't know why I suddenly became very interested and had tried to make this water melon layered cake.
I wanted to use raisins instead of the chocolate chips for the seeds,but I don't have raisins at home,so I just used chocolate chips.I'm very pleased with my cake.
Perhaps next time I'll use raisins.

8. Pour the first layer of green to the baking tray.Spread it evenly.Grill with top and bottom heat for about 7 mins or when it turns slightly brown.Take it out from the oven
.
9. Change the oven setting to top heat only and pour in the second green layer,third green layer,then first yellow layer,then second yellow layer,and follow by the red layers till all the
layers are used up.Flatten each layer with a flattener.If no flatterner,use the bottom of a glass.
This is to ensure that no wind are trapped inside and that the cake are level and nice.Each
layer of red must put in some chocolate chips as the seeds.
