How to Make Brigadeiro Cake
Ingredients:
2 cups of all-purpose flour
1 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tablespoon of baking powder
1 teaspoon of salt
1 cup of butter, softened
1 ½ cups of granulated sugar
4 eggs
1 cup of milk
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1 can of condensed milk
1 cup of chocolate sprinkles
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan. In a medium mixing bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. In a separate larger mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Gradually add in the dry ingredients, alternating with the milk and vanilla extract until all ingredients are well combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Once the cake is done, let it cool for 10 minutes before removing it from the pan and transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the cake is cooling, you can make the brigadeiro filling. In a saucepan, combine the condensed milk and chocolate sprinkles over medium heat. Stir constantly until the mixture thickens and starts to pull away from the sides of the pan, about 10-15 minutes. Let the mixture cool for a few minutes.
Once the cake has cooled, use a sharp knife to cut it horizontally into two layers. Spread the brigadeiro filling on the bottom layer and place the top layer on top. Use the remaining brigadeiro to frost the entire cake. You can also decorate the cake with additional chocolate sprinkles or any toppings of your choice.
And there you have it, a delicious and authentic Brazilian brigadeiro cake! This cake is sure to impress your family and friends, and it's a great way to experience a taste of Brazil in your own home. Enjoy!
