Before baking, heat up your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9×13-inch baking pan by greasing and flouring it or by lining it with parchment paper.
Combine the dry ingredients: In a big bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix thoroughly.
Mix the following ingredients together: eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract with the dry ingredients. Mix at a medium speed until the batter is smooth and well mixed.
Add boiling water gradually while stirring at a low speed. The mixture will be very runny, but that’s how it’s supposed to be. Keep mixing until everything is well combined.
Step 2: Cook the cake.
Baking tip: Put the mixture into the pan before baking. Put in the oven that has been preheated for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Let the cake cool down completely in the pan on a wire rack before putting on the frosting.
Step 3: Prepare the Brigadeiro Frosting.
Mix the following ingredients in a medium saucepan: sweetened condensed milk, cocoa powder, and butter. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and begins to come away from the edges of the pan. This will require around 10 to 15 minutes.
Add cream: Take the pan off the heat and slowly pour in the heavy cream while stirring constantly until the frosting is smooth and shiny.
Let the frosting cool for around 10 minutes until it thickens a bit but can still be spread.
Step 4: Put the cake together.
