There are a few problems with the instructions for this recipe. The instructions never tell you to add the spices (nutmeg and cinnamon) or the vanilla. I had mixed the batter and poured it into the pan when I realized I had not added those items.

This recipe is really good. It's not as messy as you think when first reading it. The meal, in the end tastes really marvelous, perfectly exemplifying the taste of real Chilean cuisine.
