Ingredients
- Whole eggs
- Vegetable oil
- Granulated sugar
- Milk
- All-purpose flour
- Cornmeal (fine grind)
- Baking powder
- Sweetened condensed milk
- Heavy cream
- Butter
- Diced guava paste
- Water
- Guava paste candies (hearts), optional opcional
Instructions
In a blender, add the eggs, oil, sugar, and milk. Blend the mixture until completely smooth.
Transfer the contents of the blender to a bowl and gradually add the all-purpose flour, alternating with the cornmeal, mixing gently.
Dica: Alternate the addition of the dry ingredients to ensure everything is incorporated correctly.
Finally, fold in the baking powder, mixing everything softly.
Dica: Mix only until just combined to maintain the cake's lightness.
Pour the batter into a greased and floured (with all-purpose flour or cornmeal) tube pan.
Dica: Dusting with cornmeal, if preferred, enhances the cake's characteristic flavor.
Bake the cake in a preheated oven until golden brown, soft, and completely cooked through.
Dica: Baking time may vary; trust your visual appearance and the springiness when touched.
While the cake bakes, prepare the creamy frosting (brigadeiro): In a saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, heavy cream, and butter.
Cook the brigadeiro mixture over low heat, stirring constantly, until it begins to bubble and reaches the desired consistency. Remove from heat and let it cool.
Dica: Keep the heat low and stir constantly to prevent sticking to the bottom.
For the guava paste drizzle, place the diced guava paste and water in another saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring continuously, until the guava paste melts and forms a smooth syrup.
Dica: Stirring constantly is essential to achieve a creamy and smooth drizzle.
Once the cake has cooled, unmold it and spread the brigadeiro frosting over the surface.
Dica: Make sure the brigadeiro is cool before spreading it on the cake.
Use a piping bag to distribute the creamy guava paste drizzle over the brigadeiro, creating a decorative effect.
Finish the decoration by placing guava paste hearts on top of the frosting, if desired.
