Tingling cake (bolo formigueiro in Portuguese) is a simple and delicious cake that is very popular in Brazil. It is made with basic ingredients such as wheat flour, sugar, eggs, milk, oil, and chocolate sprinkles. What makes it unique is the “formigueiro” (ant) texture, created by the sprinkles spread throughout the batter.

History:

The origin of the formigueiro cake is uncertain, but it is believed to have originated in Brazil in the early 20th century. One popular theory is that it was created by a cook who accidentally dropped chocolate sprinkles into a cake batter. The result was a tasty cake with an interesting texture, which soon became popular.

Characteristics:

Formigueiro cake is a moist and fluffy cake with a slightly sweet flavor and a crunchy touch from the chocolate sprinkles. It is a versatile cake that can be served as a snack, dessert, or breakfast.
