Nut Cake, Condensed Milk Nut Cake

This cake is all about nuts, nuts and more nuts! This scrumptious treat is very easy to prepare. You start with a base of crushed Marie biscuits, top it with loads of nuts and condensed milk, and bake it for a while for the ingredients to set into the form of a delectable cake. A sprinkling of cocoa gives the Nut Cake a richer, chocolaty flavour, which combines beautifully with the crunch and rustic flavour of the nuts and the luscious sweetness of condensed milk. Serve this Nut Cake warm, to bring out the best of the milky, nutty, chocolaty dessert.
