Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

  2. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.

  4. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk. Mix until just combined.

  6. Stir in the hot brewed coffee, mixing until smooth and well combined.

  7. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops with a spatula.

  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  9. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

  10. For the brigadeiro filling and frosting: In a medium saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, butter, and cocoa powder over medium heat.

  11. Cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it thickens and pulls away from the sides of the pan, about 10-15 minutes.

  12. Remove the brigadeiro from the heat and let it cool to room temperature.

  13. Once the cakes and brigadeiro filling have cooled, place one cake layer on a serving plate.

  14. Spread a generous layer of brigadeiro filling over the top of the cake layer.

  15. Place the second cake layer on top and cover the entire cake with the remaining brigadeiro filling, spreading it evenly.

  16. Decorate the cake with chocolate sprinkles for a beautiful and tasty finishing touch.
