Kek Batik

My mother used to make this for me when I was younger. She stopped making this for me because she misplaced her recipe. So I went in search of the recipe closest to hers. And I found it!!!

Ingredients:

• 100g Milo
• 25g Cocoa powder
• 125ml Boiling water
• 190g Butter, cut into large chunks
• 200g Condensed milk
• 110g Sugar
• 5 eggs, lightly beaten
• 350g Marie biscuits (1 packet)

Method:

• Roughly break the biscuits into quarters and set aside.
• Line a baking pan with aluminium foil.
• Slowly add boiling water to milo and cocoa in a saucepan, stirring vigorously until it is smooth.
• Add butter, sweetened condensed milk, sugar, lightly beaten eggs and vanilla to the saucepan.
• Place over moderate heat and cook, stirring all the time with a whisk or a spoon, until you feel the bottom starts to thicken, about 5 minutes.
• Turn heat down to low, and continue to cook, stirring without stopping, for about another 10 minutes, or until a thick custard forms.
• Turn off the heat, and add the biscuits into the saucepan. Mix until all the biscuits are covered with the custard.
• Transfer mixture to prepared baking pan. Press down firmly so there are no air pockets in the mixture. Bang the tin on the bench a couple of times to settle the mixture. Then let cool to the touch.
• Cover with cling film and place into the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
• When the cake is firm, use the aluminium foil as handle to pull the cake out of the tin. Slice and serve with coffee or tea.
