    no, it looked like belacan but it is the a very flavorful cake. the presence of horlicks enhanced to flavor and the cake is very moist. According to the ingredeints in browning essence, they are only water and coloring.

    There is not much different in texture but i found that the caramel sauce's slightly salty taste does complement the sweetness from the condensed milk

  11. Hi Lily,

    Thanks for sharing this secret receipes. May I know how much kg is 6 ozs(1 1/2 sticks) butter? Can we leave out the caramel if we don't mind our cake not to be dark in colour? Will there be any different in taste for the caramel?

    Kindly advise.

    Thank you in advance for your advise.
