Ingredients:
For the Cake:
- 200g (7 oz) dark chocolate, chopped
- 200g (7 oz) butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Coverage:
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
Instructions:
Preparing the Cake
Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
Melt the Chocolate and Butter: In a double boiler, melt the chopped dark chocolate and butter, stirring until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
Mix the Eggs and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract.
Combine the Ingredients: Add the melted chocolate mixture to the beaten eggs, stirring well. Then, sift the flour, baking powder, and salt over the mixture and gently fold in.
Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely before removing it from the pan.
Tip: For an even creamier cake, avoid overbaking. The center should be slightly moist.
Preparing the topping
Mix the Ingredients: In a saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, cocoa powder, and butter. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until it starts to pull away from the bottom of the pan.
Add the Heavy Cream: Remove from heat and add the heavy cream, stirring until you have a smooth and creamy frosting. Let it cool slightly before applying to the cake.
Tip: Stir constantly to prevent the brigadeiro from burning or forming lumps.
Assembling the Cake
Remove the Cake from the Pan: Once the cake is completely cool, place it on a serving plate.
Apply the Frosting: Generously spread the brigadeiro frosting over the cake, letting it drip down the sides for an irresistible look.
Decorate: If desired, decorate with chocolate sprinkles or chocolate shavings.
