Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup milk
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, chopped
  • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

Instructions

  1. 1Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. 2In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. 3Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. 4In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
  5. 5Fold in the chopped strawberries gently into the batter.
  6. 6Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops.
  7. 7Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
  8. 8While the cakes are cooling, prepare the white brigadeiro. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the sweetened condensed milk, heavy cream, and white chocolate chips. Stir continuously until the mixture thickens and pulls away from the sides of the pan, about 10-15 minutes.
  9. 9Remove from heat and let the brigadeiro cool slightly. Once cooled, mix in the shredded coconut.
  10. 10Once the cakes are completely cooled, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of brigadeiro on top, then place the second cake layer on top.
  11. 11Frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining brigadeiro. Decorate with additional strawberries if desired.

Ingredients
