Instructions
In a bowl, mix the eggs, soybean oil, sugar, and chocolate drink mix, using a whisk or spoon.
Dica: If preferred, this step can be done in a blender. If using 50% cocoa powder, add an extra half cup of sugar.
Add a half cup of hot water to the mixture and incorporate well until the batter becomes liquid.
Dica: Hot water helps make the cake fluffier.
Sift the two cups of all-purpose flour over the mixture and stir lightly just to combine.
Dica: Sifting the flour makes the batter lighter.
Add one tablespoon of baking powder and mix gently.
Dica: The oven should be preheated to 350°F (180°C).
Pour the batter into a baking pan (sized 8x12x2 inches) lightly greased only on the bottom.
Dica: Larger pans will result in a flatter cake.
Bake in the preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for approximately 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Dica: Baking time may vary depending on the oven.
While the cake bakes, prepare the syrup by mixing the milk, sugar, chocolate drink mix, and margarine in a saucepan. Cook over low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until you get a thin liquid, and set aside, keeping it warm.
Dica: The syrup should remain liquid, as it will thicken if cooked too long.
While the cake is still hot, poke holes all over the surface with a sturdy straw or fork so the syrup penetrates well.
Dica: Poking the hot cake ensures it becomes very moist.
Drizzle all the reserved syrup over the hot cake.
Prepare the frosting by heating the sweetened condensed milk, butter/margarine, and chocolate drink mix over heat, stirring constantly until the mixture starts to pull away from the bottom of the pan (soft brigadeiro consistency).
Dica: Be careful not to stop stirring, as it burns easily.
Remove the brigadeiro from the heat and incorporate the box of heavy cream to make it creamier, mixing well. Set aside.
Dica: The heavy cream ensures creaminess in the frosting.
When the cake and frosting are lukewarm/cool, spread the brigadeiro frosting over the cake, allowing it to fill the holes.
Finish by sprinkling chocolate sprinkles, chocolate shavings, or another topping of your choice over the frosting.
Dica: Colorful sprinkles appeal to children.
