How to make Chocolate Cake with Brigadeiro Topping
Make this wonderful and easy recipe for Chocolate Cake with Brigadeiro Topping. Remembering that we will start by listing all the ingredients, so start by separating all the ingredients and then the complete preparation method.
Ingredients:
For the Chocolate Cake:
1 and 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 and 1/2 cups granulated sugar
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup boiling water
For the Brigadeiro Frosting:
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
A pinch of salt
Chocolate sprinkles, for decoration (optional)
Instructions:
For the Chocolate Cake:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add the eggs, whole milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix on medium speed until well combined.
Stir in the boiling water carefully. The batter will be thin, which is normal.
Divide the cake batter evenly among the prepared cake pans.
Bake the cakes in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once done, remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, transfer the cakes to a wire rack to cool completely.
For the Brigadeiro Frosting:
In a medium saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, unsweetened cocoa powder, unsalted butter, and a pinch of salt.
Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and starts to pull away from the sides of the pan. This should take about 10-15 minutes.
Once the brigadeiro mixture is ready, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly.
Assembling the Chocolate Cake with Brigadeiro Frosting:
Place one of the cooled chocolate cake layers on a serving plate or cake stand.
Spread a generous layer of brigadeiro frosting over the cake layer.
Carefully place the second chocolate cake layer on top of the frosting layer.
Frost the top and sides of the entire cake with the remaining brigadeiro frosting.
Optionally, decorate the cake with chocolate sprinkles for added charm.
