A Kinder Bueno chocolate cake is a delicious dessert that combines the rich flavors of chocolate with the irresistible creamy and crunchy filling of Kinder Bueno bars. Here’s a recipe for making your own Kinder Bueno chocolate cake from scratch:
Ingredients:
For the Cake:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cocoa powder
- 1 ½ tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup boiling water
For the Filling and Frosting:
- 200g Kinder Bueno bars (around 4 bars)
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar (optional, for sweetness)
- 100g Nutella (for an added chocolate hazelnut flavor)
- ½ cup milk chocolate (for coating)
- 2 tbsp hazelnuts (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Cake:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 8-inch cake pans.
- In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until combined.
- Stir in the boiling water. The batter will be quite runny, but this will give the cake a moist texture.
- Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
2. Prepare the Filling and Frosting:
- While the cake is cooling, chop the Kinder Bueno bars into small pieces.
- In a bowl, whisk the heavy cream until stiff peaks form (you can use an electric mixer for this).
- Gently fold in the powdered sugar, Nutella, and the chopped Kinder Bueno pieces into the whipped cream to make the filling/frosting.
- Set aside some of the chopped Kinder Bueno pieces to decorate the cake.
3. Assemble the Cake:
- Place one layer of the cake on a serving plate. Spread a generous layer of the Kinder Bueno filling over the top.
- Place the second layer of cake on top and frost the entire cake with the remaining Kinder Bueno whipped cream mixture.
- Drizzle melted milk chocolate over the top of the cake, then sprinkle with the reserved chopped Kinder Bueno pieces and any chopped hazelnuts (if using) for added texture.
4. Serve and Enjoy:
- Let the cake sit for a while so the flavors can meld. Slice, serve, and enjoy the indulgent layers of chocolate and Kinder Bueno goodness!
This cake is a perfect treat for chocolate lovers and those who enjoy the sweet, creamy flavor of Kinder Bueno.
