Ingredients

3 eggs
1 cup (tea) of sugar
1/2 cup oil
1 cup (tea) of milk
2 cups (tea) of wheat flour
1 tablespoon (soup) baking powder
1 cup granulated chocolate
1 pinch of salt
1 spoon (tea) of vanilla extract (optional)

Preparation:

1. Prepare the dough

Preheat the oven to 180°C and grease a baking pan with butter and flour (the traditional one has a hole in the middle).
In a large bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar until light.
Add the oil, milk and vanilla and mix well.
Gradually add the flour sifted with the salt, stirring until smooth.
Gently stir in the yeast.
Finally, carefully mix in the chocolate sprinkles so that they are evenly distributed without melting.

2. Bake the cake

Pour the batter into the prepared tin.
Bake for about 35 to 45 minutes, or until golden brown and the toothpick test is successful.
Remove from the oven, let it cool and unmold.

Special Tips

To prevent the sprinkles from sinking, quickly dust them with a little flour before mixing them into the dough.
It's delicious with a soft brigadeiro topping or a simple chocolate syrup.
You can also replace some of the milk with coconut milk for a special touch.

Perfect for that afternoon coffee

The The Cake Nest Cute is one of those cakes that warms the heart. It goes well with fresh coffee, tea or even a glass of iced milk. It's ideal for serving at gatherings with friends, taking to work or simply brightening up the afternoon at home.
