is the "140g condensed milk" the sweetened kind or not? and any particular reason for the use of margarine instead of butter? thanks in advance for your reply
ReplyDeleteCondensed milk is sweetened type. Evaporated milk is more dilute and less sweetness.
ReplyDeleteThe use of margarine or butter in cake depends on the texture and flavour of the cake needed. Margarine is harder and less flavour compared to butter.
thanks so much but have 1 more question I'm afraid :) how long should it bake if I use 1 big round bakingtin instead of the 2 seperate ones.Would it need twice as long, 1 hr 30min ?
ReplyDeleteTime of baking written is not always accurate, it depends on the oven use.
ReplyDeleteDouble in size normally need to double up the baking time. Check it with a skewer after 45 minutes, adjust your time if it is not cooked.
