6 Eggs
1 tin NESTLÉ Sweetened Condensed Milk or 397 g

How to prepare

Using a mixer with paddle, combine the butter, sugar and vanilla essence and whip for 10 minutes until creamy. Add the eggs one by one to the mixture while whipping. Add the NESTLÉ Sweetened Condensed Milk after that and mix with a spatula.
Sift the flour and baking powder and add them to the mixture along with the dried fruits, and mix to form dough.
Pour the dough in a greased and floured non-stick rectangular mold until ¾ filled, and bake in a preheated oven at 200 °C for 30 minutes until the surface is brownish. Keep aside to cool for a minimum of 10 minutes and then remove from the mold and leave at room temperature.
