📋 Ingredients

For the Cake:

  • 4 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3 tbsp sugar
  • 1/8 tsp baking powder
  • A pinch of salt
  • 3 tbsp milk
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil (or melted butter)

🧁 Description

This dessert creates a soft, moist microwave chocolate cake topped with a warm, silky brigadeiro sauce —
the classic Brazilian chocolate fudge. The combination results in a luscious, spoonable treat that tastes
like a chocolate celebration in a cup.

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Make the Cake

  1. In a microwave-safe mug, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  2. Stir in milk, oil, and vanilla until smooth.
  3. Microwave for 60–90 seconds, depending on microwave strength. The cake should rise and look set but still slightly soft.

2. Make the Brigadeiro Topping

  1. In a small microwave-safe bowl, mix condensed milk, cocoa powder, and butter.
  2. Microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring between each, until thickened and glossy (about 30–45 seconds).

3. Assemble

  1. Pour the warm brigadeiro topping over the cake.
  2. Add chocolate sprinkles if desired.

💡 Tips

  • Don’t overcook the cake — it becomes dry if microwaved too long. Stop as soon as the center is set.
  • Use a wide mug for better texture and even cooking.
  • Add a tablespoon of chocolate chips to make it richer.
  • Serve with vanilla ice cream for extra decadence.
  • If the brigadeiro gets too thick, mix in a teaspoon of milk.

🔧 Corrections (Common Mistakes)

  • Cake too dense? You may have added too much flour — use level measurements.
  • Cake didn’t rise? Check that your baking powder is fresh.
  • Bitter taste? Make sure you used unsweetened cocoa powder and balanced the sugar.
  • Brigadeiro too runny? Heat it a bit longer; it thickens as it cools.

🥄 Enjoy!

Grab your spoon, dive into the warm, chocolatey goodness, and enjoy this ultra-comforting mug dessert.
