Special Precautions and Tips:

• Make sure to grease and flour the pan well to prevent the cake from sticking.
• Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the cake tough.
• If you don't have a 9x13 inch pan, you can use a 10x10 inch pan. The cake will be slightly thicker.
• If you prefer a sweeter cake, you can add 1/2 cup more brown sugar to the condensed milk mixture.
