Hi everyone!
I have a strange request...
My brazillian husband would like me to make him a "wet chocolate cake with chocolate filling, chocolate frosting and jimmies". Has anyone ever heard of such a cake and do you know the recipe?
~Teresa

Does he mean moist chocolate cake or perhaps the cake is soaked with something? Ask him for more clarity.

Does he mean Tres Leches?

"soaked in something" but he has no idea what.
He's going to call Brazil.


Thanks for the help.

is this what he means?

I googled "chocolate wet cake" and there were quite a few hits.

Teresa, your husband is probably asking for a moist chocolate cake filled and covered with BRIGADEIRO, and lots of chocolate jimmies on top.
Am I right?
