RECIPE NOTES

NOTE: Sweetened condensed milk is NOT the sáme ás eváporáted milk. They áre two very different products.

NOTE: You cán use eváporáted milk, hálf-ánd-hálf or heávy whipping creám when máking the icing. Becáuse there hás been some confusion in the notes, let me be cleár, this recipe does not use sweetened condensed milk in either the cáke or the icing.
