- 1/2 tin condensed milk (200gms)
- 2 3/4 cups plain flour (240gms)
- 40 gm cocoa
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda (soda bicarb)
- 2 tsp icing sugar
- 1/2 cup butter melted (60gms)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla essence
- 100 ml milk

- METHOD
- Sieve flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, cocoa all together 2 to 3 times.
- Keep aside.
- Pour condensed milk in a bowl. Add the butter, and beat well till smooth.
- 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].
- Once all the flour is used up, beat the batter as above till light (5-7 minutes).
- Add the coke or Thums Up and mix gently till smooth.
- Pour into a greased cake tin. Do not smooth with a spoon etc. If the consistency is right this will not be needed.

- Poke with a skewer and check. Cool a little. Invert on wire rack. Cool completely before doing icing if any. Or serve warm with tea.
