I was looking for a yellow cake w/chocolate frosting...I don't have the sweetened condensed milk....maybe I'll look for the recipe here on GR!! Today is my hubby's b-day


Finally a buttercream I mastered. YUMMY. Love the cake too, very tender crumb and moist. Was afraid it would be too sweet but it was just perfect. Thanks CM! You ROCK!


I've never seen a cake recipe with sweetened condensed milk before, interesting! Sounds wonderful! I'm a fan!


OMG how did I miss this one, so glad I found it, I know I will totally love this wonderful cake. How could you possibly go wrong with condensed milk, YUM - You have my 5


Which milk am I supposed to use the condensed milk in? the holes or the batter?
