Horlick - Milo Layer Cake

So I've been on a baking frenzy.  And this round, I'm attempting my first ever layer cake.

Again, lots of recipes out there for grabs, but I'll share the one that I used and tweaked a little for this cake. But behold, you will need lots of patience for this creation. Yes, I'm talking bout 3 hour bake time and counting! But it is definitely well worth the grueling process


Horlick Milo Layer Cake



Horlick Milo Layer Cake 
Ingredients: 
7 eggs
250 gm butter
1/3 cup sugar
1 cup all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
250 gm condensed milk
1/2 cup Horlick
1/2 cup Milo 


  1. Preheat oven on grill setting to 200 degrees Celcius. 
  2. Line bottom of a square tin and grease its sides. Pre-heat the pan in the oven.
  3. Sift flour together with baking soda. 
  4. Beat sugar and butter until light and fluffy.
  5. Add in eggs, one by one. Beating well after each addition. 
  6. Mix in condensed milk.
  7. Fold flour into the batter.
  8. Split batter into two bowls. Add Horlick to one, and Milo to the other bowl. Fold well. 
  9. Spread Horlick (or you may use the Milo batter as base) batter evenly onto the pre-heated pan. Tilt the pan left and right to make sure the batter is evenly spread and leveled. 
  10. Grill the batter for approximately 7 minutes or until it turns golden. Note: when the batter turns brown, it is too cooked and the next layer of batter will have problem sticking to it (this will cause your layer cake to fall apart). 
  11. Remove the pan from the oven. Press the cake layer with something flat to remove excess air. Then spread another ladle of batter, this round a different batter, over the cooked batter and grill it for another 7 minutes or till golden.
  12. Repeat step 11 until all batter is used up.

I've managed to make 8 layers, and will definitely aim for thinner, finer layers the next time I make another layer cake.
