1/2 tin condensed milk (200gms)
2 3/4 cups plain flour (240gms)

1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda (soda bicarb)
2 tsp icing sugar
1/2 cup butter melted (60gms)

• Add the flour spoon by spoon, mixing into the condensed milk mixture. In between, add milk as required if the butter begins to get too stiff. [Stir the mixture in one direction only all the while. 
• This will incorporate more air and make the cake lighter].
