Tools
Ingredients
For the Nesquick Chocolate Cake:
- 2 cups (250) all-purpose flour sifted
- 100 g (½ cup) granulated sugar
- 100 g (½ cup) light brown sugar
- 150 g (1 cup) Nesquick Chocolate Powder leveled off with the back of a knife
- 15 ml (1 tablespoon) pure vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon baking powder , aluminum-free
- 3 large eggs , room temperature
- 1 cup avocado oil or any neutral-flavored oil
- 1 cup water or milk , warm
Chocolate Glazed:
- 1 (14oz) condensed milk
- 200 g light cream or heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons 100 % unsweetened cocoa powder or Nesquick Chocolate powder
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Instructions
For the Brigadeiro Sauce:
- In a saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the condensed milk, light cream, cocoa powder, and the unsalted butter, and cook, stirring continuously, until it thickens a bit and the sauce releases from the pan about 6 to 10 minutes.
For the Nesquick Chocolate Cake:
- Adjust the oven rack to the center position and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and flour a 9 by 13-inch pan or spray with Baking Spray with flour. Whisk together the flour, Nesquik chocolate powder, and baking powder in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, avocado oil, vanilla, and sugars until well combined, about 2 minutes. Pour the warm water and whisk until just combined.
- Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Add the dry ingredients and whisk until well combined. Pour batter into the prepared baking pan.
- Bake the Nesquick Chocolate Cake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. As soon as the cake is ready, remove it from the oven, pour the Brigadeiro Sauce on top, and spread it evenly. Allow the glaze to set up on the cake.
