Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer or whisk
  • Baking pan
  • Saucepan
  • Spatula

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon yeast powder
  • 1 cup chocolate powder
  • 2 cups wheat flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup milk
  • 3 tablespoons chocolate powder
  • 1 tablespoon margarine
  • to taste grated coconut, grain chocolate, chopped walnuts, or chocolate shavings
  • 1 can sour cream (optional)
  • 2 cans condensed milk
  • 2 tablespoons chocolate powder
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup water

Instructions

  • Separate egg whites from the yolks and beat the whites until stiff peaks form.
  • Gradually add the yolks and sugar, beating until light and airy.
  • Slowly pour in the milk while mixing, then gently fold in the sifted flour and chocolate powder.
  • Add the yeast and mix until smooth to achieve a fluffy batter.
  • Pour the batter into a greased and floured pan and sprinkle with chocolate powder.
  • Bake in a medium oven until a toothpick comes out clean, about 15 minutes.
  • In a saucepan, combine condensed milk, chocolate powder, and margarine, stirring constantly until thickened.
  • Allow the filling to cool; add sour cream for extra creaminess if desired.
  • For the syrup, combine milk, water, and chocolate powder in a pot and bring to a boil, then simmer until slightly thickened.
  • Once the cake is cool, slice it horizontally into two layers and brush with the syrup.
  • Spread the brigadeiro filling evenly between the layers and cover the cake with the remaining filling.
  • Decorate with toppings and chill for 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

For a gluten-free option, substitute wheat flour with almond or oat flour. For a vegan version, use plant-based margarine, milk, and alternatives for condensed milk. Store in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze without toppings for up to 3 months. Consider using high-quality chocolate powder for a richer flavor and don’t skip sifting the dry ingredients for a smoother batter.
