Add Sprinkles: Generously sprinkle chocolate sprinkles over the frosting, covering the entire surface. This not only adds texture but also enhances the visual appeal of the cake.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy!
Slice and Serve: Cut the cake into squares or rectangles. The rich, moist chocolate cake paired with the fudgy brigadeiro frosting is a decadent combination that melts in your mouth.
Store: Leftover cake can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Tips for the Perfect Brigadeiro Cake
Use Good Quality Cocoa Powder: The quality of cocoa powder makes a significant difference in the flavor of the cake and frosting. Opt for Dutch-processed or high-quality unsweetened cocoa for the best results.
Don’t Overbake: Keep an eye on the cake while it’s in the oven. Overbaking can lead to a dry cake. It’s done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
Customize the Toppings: If you’re feeling adventurous, you can add some chopped nuts or shredded coconut to the top of the cake along with the chocolate sprinkles for added texture and flavor.
