Dica: Baking time may vary; watch for doneness.

6
cozinhar

Prepare the frosting: In a saucepan, mix one can of sweetened condensed milk, a little margarine, the coating chocolate, and the heavy cream.

7
cozinhar

Cook the mixture over heat until it reaches the consistency of soft truffle filling (brigadeiro de colher), when it starts to bubble on the surface.

Dica: The ideal consistency should not be hard.

8
misturar

Remove the brigadeiro from the heat and let it cool slightly before adding the egg yolk gel food coloring. Add the coloring little by little until you achieve the desired color.

Dica: Gel coloring has good color retention, but use it sparingly.

resfriar

Optionally, prepare a second batch of brigadeiro (using half a can of sweetened condensed milk) for filling or additional details and let it cool.

Dica: Allow it to cool completely for easier handling.

decorar

Remove the cake from the pan. Spread the yellow brigadeiro over the top of the cake, letting it drip down the sides to simulate the sunflower petals.

Dica: For decorating the petals, the brigadeiro should be applied in a way that it flows downward.

11
decorar

If desired, finish the decoration by sprinkling sprinkles in the center of the cake.
