How to Make the Recipe

Now, let’s dive into the fun part—making this delicious cake!

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk them together until well blended.
Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Gently fold in the chocolate crocante, ensuring it’s evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Once baked, let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the cake is cooling, prepare the marshmallow topping. In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the mini marshmallows for about 30 seconds until they puff up. Stir until smooth.
Spread the melted marshmallows over the cooled cake, allowing it to drip down the sides for that beautiful, gooey effect.
Top with additional chocolate crocante for an extra crunch!

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Here are some of my favorite tips to ensure your Bolo de Chocolate Crocante com Marshmallow turns out perfectly:

Make sure your ingredients are at room temperature for a smoother batter.
Don’t overmix the batter; a few lumps are okay!
For an extra chocolatey flavor, consider adding chocolate chips to the batter.
Feel free to experiment with different toppings, like crushed nuts or sprinkles, for a fun twist.
If you’re short on time, you can use a store-bought chocolate cake mix and just add the crocante and marshmallows!

How to Serve

This cake is best served warm or at room temperature. I love to pair it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for that extra indulgence. It’s also a fantastic centerpiece for any gathering, and I guarantee your guests will be asking for seconds!

Make Ahead and Storage

If you want to prepare this cake ahead of time, you can bake it a day in advance. Just store it in an airtight container at room temperature. The marshmallow topping is best added just before serving to keep it fluffy and fresh. If you have leftovers (which is rare!), you can store them in the fridge for up to three days. Just reheat in the microwave for a few seconds to enjoy that gooey goodness again!
