Brigadeiro Cake

300 g plain flour
400 g sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
200 ml fresh milk
200 ml water
2 tsp instant coffee
130 ml oil
100 g cocoa powder must be dutch process
4 eggs
3 tsp lemon juice
 1 1/2 tsp vanilla
FOr the icing
1 can condensed milk
1 tsp vanilla
350 ml cream
100 g dutch process cocoa

Preheat oven at 170 deg C and line your baking pan with parchment paper at the bottom and on the side.
In the video I used 8x3 inch round cake pan.

Now combine water and the coffee mix then set aside.

For the dry Ingredients:
Combine the flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking powder and baking soda mix and then sift. Set aside.

For the Liquid ingredients
Combine the oil, milk and coffee mixture. Mix this and set aside as well.

Whisk the eggs then add sugar continue mixing until sugar is partially dissolve, then add lemon juice then vanilla, continue mixing until sugar is fully dissolve, add the liquid ingredients then the dry ingredients while mixing continuously. Do not over mix.

Divide the cake batter into 2 pans and bake in a preheated oven at 170 deg C for about 45-50 minutes or until when you insert a skewer and the skewer comes out clean.

Let it cool down completely.

For the Bregadeiro Icing  Icing

In a saucepan combine the condensed milk, cocoa powder, cream, butter  and vanilla. We will cook and continuously stir this in medium to low heat until the icing is starting to coat the bottom of the pan it takes about 10-15 minutes for this to happen .


I cut my cake into 4 layers and each layer is iced with the Brigadeiro icing. Decorate it to your hearts desire as for me I use chocolate sprinkle to cover my entire cake.

Happy Baking :D
