Hi Maria,
Thanks for the instant reply. One more query is 2 tbsp Sweetened Milk Condensed Milk/Milkmaid.
Secondly, icing sugar is it powdered sugar or granular sugar. Is it easily available in the market. I am just waiting to try your recipe. It really looks delicious and yuuuuuuuuumy.

Hey Vanessa,
You are welcome sweetened milk brands in India are Nestle Milkmaid and Amul Mithai Mate. Infact you can make the entire cake with sweetened condensed milk. There is no need to add sugar is using sweetened milk. Your cake would be more softer if using sweetened milk.
Icing sugar is easily available for instant Bluebird brand Icing sugar is available in marts. You could use brown sugar, powdered sugar, castor sugar Or milkmaid it’s your choice.
Thanks do keep me posted!
Love,
Maria
