Notes
For an ultra-smooth brigadeiro frosting, strain it through a fine mesh sieve before spreading it on the cake.
Store leftover brigadeiro cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days, or refrigerate for longer storage. Wrap slices individually to prevent drying out.
Trying variations like gluten-free or vegan brigadeiro cake can be fun—experiment with different ingredients for a personal touch!
