This is a famous Brazilian chocolate cake, named “Nega Maluca”(can be translated as “Crazy Black Woman”) and we love it very much. All the Brazilians grew up eating this cake, every child in Brazil loves and eats this a lot. The best thing about this cake, despite being delicious, is that it’s crazily easy, crazily delicious, and it’s all about chocolate. Yummy !!
