Stir in flour and baking powder, mix well and at last add the milk.
Cook for about 40 minutes at 180°C or until it's well cooked inside.
When the bread is ready, put the 4 tablespoons of sugar in a frying pan until it melts. Then cover the bread with this caramel and wait until it is solid. Be careful, because caramel is very, very hot!
