Step 5: Serve and Enjoy!
Cut the cake into square or rectangular pieces before serving. The delicious chocolate cake with creamy brigadeiro frosting is a rich and indulgent treat that melts in your mouth.
You can keep any leftover cake in a sealed container at room temperature for 3 days or in the fridge for a week.
Advice for Making the Best Brigadeiro Cake
Use high-quality cocoa powder: The quality of cocoa powder greatly affects the taste of the cake and frosting. Choose Dutch-processed or high-quality unsweetened cocoa for the best outcome.
Avoid baking the cake for too long: Watch it closely while it's in the oven. Baking a cake for too long can make it dry. It is ready when a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Add some chopped nuts or shredded coconut on top of the cake along with chocolate sprinkles for extra texture and flavor.
Have fun and enjoy baking!
