Baking tip: Put the mixture into the pan before baking. Put in the oven that has been preheated for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Let the cake cool down completely in the pan on a wire rack before putting on the frosting.
Step 3: Prepare the Brigadeiro Frosting.
Mix the following ingredients in a medium saucepan: sweetened condensed milk, cocoa powder, and butter. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and begins to come away from the edges of the pan. This will require around 10 to 15 minutes.
Add cream: Take the pan off the heat and slowly pour in the heavy cream while stirring constantly until the frosting is smooth and shiny.
Let the frosting cool for around 10 minutes until it thickens a bit but can still be spread.
Step 4: Put the cake together.
Put the brigadeiro frosting on the cooled cake, spreading it evenly with a spatula. The icing will be thick and sticky, making a fancy topping.
Put lots of chocolate sprinkles on top of the frosting, making sure to cover the whole surface. This not only gives the cake more texture but also makes it look better.
