Introduction
The original recipe for Nega Maluca is a Brazilian classic, and is a super-simple chocolate cake. The name can be translated as “Crazy Black Woman” - and it will dye your mouth black if you aren't careful!I jazzed up the traditional recipe (made with buckwheat flour and cornstarch) by adding chia gel and eggnog for a bit of extra binding and flavour. It takes a while to bake through, but it is worth every agonizing minute! The original recipe for Nega Maluca is a Brazilian classic, and is a super-simple chocolate cake.
