This is a eggless sponge milk cake, soaked in sweetened condensed milk and cream sauce. Then the frosting is made using condensed milk, white chocolate and cream. The frosting is thick and sweet and luscious. To give the taste of raffaello, i added some coconut in the middle of the cake. Then the whole cake is frosted and topped with almonds and coconut and finally the crowning flory raffaello chocolates.

My cake turned out really well
Only problem was the frosting which did not turn out right, it became like over bitten cream even though I followed each step as advised
