Boil 3 minutes and cool Sift Flour, Baking Soda and Salt Mix into the cold fruit mixture Put into prepared tin Arrange Almonds on top Bake @ 160dC for 2 hours Allow to cool in tin. NOTE: Do not be tempted to add the flour, etc till the fruit mixture has completely cooled as that will change the texture of the flour and your cake will turn out all gluggy and rubbery.

Uli can I substitue all the various fruits with a pkt of fruitcake mix? Also is it 3/4 tsp or 3 to 4 tspns of baking soda. Thanks

-minty-, it's a little unfair of uli to post that recipe as though it's a serious answer to your question. The thread she refers you to, which you might not have clicked on, is a spoof on cooking with condensed milk and many of the posters there believe it is poison.
And gdwitch, you too... if your question is serious maybe you could check out the thread, if only to find out which posters' recipes you can trust.

Lol Uli. I was looking through some of my grandmother's old cookbooks and came across UNsweetened cm!

Haha - there is your answer - others know so much more of it than myself of course ...
Let me know how it came out though :)

uli, have you still got those leftover 7-year-old cans of caramelized condensed milk in your pantry that you were saving for a rainy day, or have you thrown them out?
uli,
Apr 1, 1:29am
Yep - I still have 2 of them - why? Shall I list them? Do you need any?

I think it is one 3/4teaspoon of baking soda - however you are asking the wrong person here. This is buzzy's recipe which I only copied and pasted. So any questions should go to buzzy :) I have never baked anything with this lovely ingredient.
Good luck!

uli, you pride yourself on being a straight-talker, but do posters now have to treat your posted recipes with caution or suspicion? There's nothing 'straight' about encouraging a poster with a serious question to bake a cake with ingredients that you mock.
uli,
Apr 1, 5:14am
Why is that? Do you think I should only post stuff I would eat myself? Well - that would be pretty boring - cause what I eat you do not need recipes LOL :) Maybe I should just quit posting altogether? yes? Is that what you want?

Actually, elliehen, the recipe that uli posted was one I copied directly from the Nestle's Recipe book and is kosher. Logic should tell poster 1 that it would be unreasonable to put 3-4 tspns of baking soda into anything but I presume she is a novice cook and probably doesn't know stuff like that.
For your information elliehen, I have the Nestle's recipe book and it has quite a few condensed milk slices. However, due to the amount of abuse one receives from other posters and often the complete lack of acknowledgment of the effort taken to find and then type and post a recipe or other help, I, like uli now refrain from doing so.
I hope other posters may be able to help but personally I always find that owning a well presented book with glossy photos is way better than easily lost recipes printed out on paper without nice pictures and other relevant information, especially if you are a novice cook.

How bizzare! Just logged on because i wanted the fudge recipe that used marshmellows and condensed milk and what do you know it was lurking here all along. without the marshmellows but it is the same recipe. Wish i had started here before trawling through google. Thanks you are all amazing!

Thanks to all the posters who attempt to answer serious questions honestly. They certainly ARE amazing, to keep on keeping on in the face of ridicule.
Why a few would repeatedly choose to enter threads just to scoff and poke fun at others' requests for recipes is beyond me...

As you were the only one scoffing and poking fun at others' in this thread I do hope you follow your own advice. Uli gave a recipe as requested and you scoffed! !

Apr 1, 11:02am
Oh buzzybuzzybuzzy... who are you kidding? You know better than I that uli did not believe in the recipe she was posting - she posted it along with the link to belittle the person who wanted to cook with condensed milk! Do you endorse that buzzyfruitcake recipe? I don't think so...

I've know Uli on this MB for around 9 years now and the one thing I've never found her to be is mischeivious. She may be blunt and extremely forthright but I have enough faith in her integrity to say that she would never deliberately give someone a recipe even suspecting that it would not turn out.

And she's not condescending either.

I would like to thank the posters of their recipes as I will try them as the fudgey ones are uncooked and look simple and the cake one I will compare to the several I already have and make.
