3. Fold in the sifted ingredients. Add vanilla and some milk to give a soft consistency.

Hi Sukhi,
I have tried this recipe but it turned out to be hard. I think I didn't add enough milk as you just mentioned add "some" milk. You have replied to one of the reader as half a cup, can you please specify the quantity in "ml".
Many thanks. :p

Hi Evelyn,

Usually I would buy the small carton of UHT milk, same size as Milo (which a child can bring to school). I will use up 2/3 of the milk for this cake.

If less milk is used, the cake would not turn hard. It'll just be dry and crumbly.

I used about 150ml of UHT/Fresh milk for this recipe.
