Kinder Bueno Cake
A moist double-layered chocolate cake with a delicious Kinder Bueno cream in between that is drizzled with dark and white chocolate and decorated with Kinder Buenos.
The cake is very simple to make: First, you bake the two layers of chocolate cake. If you only have one cake tin (I used a 20 cm tin) simply divide the dough into two portions and bake one layer after the other. Whilst the cake cools down, you mix the Bueno cream. Make sure the cake has fully cooled down when you spread the cream over the base. As the last step, you melt the chocolate, glaze the cake and then decorate it with Kinder Buenos. Keep the cake stored in the fridge until you serve it.
Ingredients
For the dough:
250 g butter (at room temperature)
250 g sugar
3 eggs
80 g cocoa powder
50 g flour
For the Kinder Bueno cream:
300 ml double cream
3 tbsp Nutella (at room temperature)
2 tbsp condensed milk
For the glaze and decoration:
200 g dark chocolate
100 g white chocolate
1-2 Kinder Buenos for decoration (or more depending on how you’d like to decorate the cake).
Method
Preheat oven to 180 °C.
Add 250 g butter at room temperature and 250 g sugar into a large mixing bowl and beat for 5 minutes or until smooth and creamy using a hand mixer.
One by one mix in 3 eggs.
Dust in 50 g flour and 80 g cocoa powder and beat on slow speed until an even mixture comes together.
Grease a round cake tin (20 cm) and pour in half of the dough. Bake on middle oven rack for 40 minutes
Take the first cake layer out of the baking tin and let it cool down.
In the meantime: Grease cake tin again and fill with the rest of the dough. Repeat baking process and set the second layer aside to cool down.
To make the Kinder Bueno cream:
Pour 300 ml double cream into a medium-sized bowl and beat with the hand mixer on medium speed until it gets stiff.
Add 2 tbsp condensed milk and 3 tbsp Nutella and mix under with a spoon or spatula until well combined. Keep Kinder Bueno cream in the fridge if the cake has not fully cooled down, yet.
Spread Kinder Bueno cream over one cake layer, then place the other one on top.
Melt 200 g dark chocolate and 100 g white chocolate separately. Do so by breaking up the chocolate into smaller pieces and placing it into a bowl. Now, you can either bring some water to a boil in a saucepan and place the bowl into the water. The bowl should only be covered in water halfway and you need to be careful that no water splashes into the bowl as that will prevent the chocolate from melting. Alternatively, you can place the bowl in the microwave. Stir the chocolate every 20 seconds to make sure that it does not burn.
Coat the cake with dark chocolate, then drizzle with white chocolate and decorate with Kinder Buenos.
Make sure the cake stays in the fridge until you serve it as the cream melts easily.
Enjoy!
