Where to find ingredients
Look for the ingredients in the baking aisle, dairy section, and pantry staples at your local supermarket. Coca-Cola, cocoa powder, butter, eggs, flour, sugar, and baking powder are easy to find; for the topping, crème fraîche can be used as a substitute if needed, but the original recipe uses creme de leite.
Preparation method
- Preheat the oven to 180°C
- In a large bowl, beat the sugar with the butter until light and fluffy
- Separate the egg yolks from the egg whites. Set the whites aside
- Add the yolks to the butter and sugar mixture and beat well until combined
- Add the Coca-Cola to the mixture, alternating with the dry ingredients (flour and cocoa powder), beating constantly
- Add the baking powder and gently mix
- Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form
- Fold the beaten egg whites into the batter, gently mixing from the bottom up so you do not lose the air
- Pour the batter into a round Bundt pan, greased and floured beforehand
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 35 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean
- While the cake bakes, prepare the topping: in a saucepan, mix the creme de leite, the 3 tablespoons of sugar, the butter, and the 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder
- Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the topping thickens slightly
- Remove the cake from the oven, let it cool slightly, and unmold it
- Cover the cake while it is still warm with the prepared topping
