Bauru cake, a iconic Brazilian treat named after the city of Bauru, is a simple yet heavenly combination of fluffy butter cake, sweetened milk, and melted mozzarella. Here’s how to recreate this classic at home.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 can (395g) sweetened condensed milk
- 200g mozzarella cheese, shredded
- ½ cup heavy cream
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Cake Base: Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and flour a round cake pan. Cream butter and sugar until fluffy, then beat in eggs one by one. Mix in flour alternately with milk and vanilla until smooth. Pour into the pan and bake for 30–35 minutes until golden. Let cool.
2. Make the Filling: In a saucepan, heat condensed milk and heavy cream over low heat until thickened, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and fold in shredded mozzarella until melted and creamy.
3. Assemble: Slice the cooled cake horizontally into three layers. Brush each layer with simple syrup (optional). Spread the mozzarella filling between layers and over the top. Chill for 2 hours before serving.
Tip: For extra richness, drizzle with caramel sauce or top with toasted almonds. Enjoy this creamy, dreamy cake with a cup of coffee!
