Ingredients
Scale
- 4 Eggs (separated)
- 1 cup Sugar
- 1 cup Milk
- 2 cups All-Purpose Flour (sifted)
- 1 cup Chocolate Powder (sifted)
- 1 tablespoon Baking Powder
- 2 tablespoons Chocolate Powder (for syrup)
- 1/2 cup Milk (for syrup)
- 1/2 cup Water (for syrup)
- 2 cans Condensed Milk
- 4 tablespoons Chocolate Powder (for brigadeiro cream)
- 1 tablespoon Margarine (or Butter)
- 1 can Heavy Table Cream
- Toppings: Grated coconut, chocolate sprinkles, chopped nuts, or chocolate shavings
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to a medium setting (around 350°F / 175°C). Grease and flour a pan. Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Add egg yolks one by one, followed by the sugar. Gradually drizzle in the milk. Gently fold in the flour and chocolate powder, then mix in the baking powder.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. Bake for 15 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool slightly.
- Combine 2 tablespoons of chocolate powder, 1/2 cup milk, and 1/2 cup water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, cooking until reduced by half. Remove from heat.
- In a saucepan, combine the condensed milk, 4 tablespoons of chocolate powder, and margarine. Stir continuously until thickened. Let cool slightly, then stir in the heavy cream.
- Slice the cooled cake into 2 layers. Soak both layers with the syrup. Spread brigadeiro cream on the bottom layer, place the second layer on top, and coat with remaining cream. Top with desired toppings.
Notes
Dust the pan with cocoa powder to avoid white streaks on the cake. Store in the fridge for 4-5 days for best flavor.
