Now condensed milk is often sold in stores, cooked with the use of vegetable fats. Such a product for the preparation of dough should not be used, since the result is unpredictable.

- A cake is a high-class confectionery product; it is unacceptable to use second-rate products for it. Flour for the dough should be chosen higher or at least of the first grade. The second grade has an unpleasant taste and gives the baking color gray.
