Ingredients

1 tin condensed milk,

100 gms softened butter,

300 gms refined flour,

2 tbsp cocoa powder,

Method

Sieve the refined flour and the baking powder thrice together.

Pour the condensed milk into a shallow vessel. Add the refined flour and baking powder mixture into the condensed milk bit by bit and mix well. Also add in the softened butter, vanilla essence and the warm water. Mix well to form a non-lumpy batter.

Pour out half the batter into another vessel and add the cocoa powder into this. Mix well.
