  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 cans condensed milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3 tablespoons powdered milk

  3. Pour dough into prepared pan, and bake for approximately 30 minutes. Remove from pan while warm.
  4. In a saucepan, cook the condensed milk, butter and milk powder over medium heat. Stir constantly until mixture starts to come unstuck from the pan.

  9. Cover the cake with a layer of chocolate ganache, slice and serve.
