Where to find ingredients
Eggs, milk, sugar, and flour are standard staples found in any local grocery store. Sweetened condensed milk is widely available in the tinned goods or baking aisle of most supermarkets. For cornflour, check the baking section; it is sometimes labelled as cornstarch. Look for high-quality dark chocolate bars in the baking aisle or confectionery section of your local supermarket to ensure the best flavour. If you have trouble finding specific Brazilian-style ingredients, local international food shops or dedicated Latin American grocers are the best places to find authentic staples.
Preparation method
- Start by preheating your oven to 180°C (350°F)
- Add the eggs, milk, condensed milk, sugar, margarine, flour, cornflour, and baking powder into a blender and blitz until you have a smooth, well-combined batter
- Prepare a 22cm round cake tin by lightly greasing it with a bit of margarine
- Pour only half of the batter into the tin, then scatter the chopped chocolate pieces evenly over the top
- Finish by pouring the remaining batter over the chocolate layer to cover it completely
- Bake for about 40 minutes, or until the cake is golden, risen, and perfectly cooked through
- Remove from the oven, let it cool down slightly, and carefully turn it out of the tin before serving
Observations
This is a super-handy recipe, perfect when you're craving a delicious homemade sweet made in a flash using your blender. The secret lies in the addition of sweetened condensed milk to the batter, which gives the cake a unique, velvety texture and a lovely touch of extra sweetness.
