Kinder Bueno Cake tastes like a real Kinder Bueno chocolate bar. A white chocolate cream with hazelnuts is delicious and you can make it for any cake you like. I chose a dense chocolate cake that melts on the tongue. It’s very similar to a brownie and it goes well with a white chocolate Kinder Bueno cream.

Kinder Bueno Cake was a hit. We ate it in 2 days (!) and gave away a few slices to family and friends. The great thing about this Kinder Bueno chocolate cake is that there is nothing people don’t like. Chocolate, hazelnuts, and a cake. What can go wrong?
I also felt like experimenting with the cake layers. I have a few classic cake layer recipes, that I use and change all the time. Last week, I had more time on my hands so I had a space for recipe testing. It wasn’t the usual recipe testing when I mix ingredients and cross my fingers for the best result possible.
I wanted something dense like a baked brownie. You know when you over-bake the brownie and it’s just too dense, heavy, and melts in your mouth? I wanted something like that, but more spongy, soft, and intense in a taste of chocolate. I balanced the original brownie recipe – I changed butter into oil (for spongier structure), added more eggs, and sour cream for the creamy feel, but stayed strong on cocoa powder.
I whisked the batter and it really was thick like a brownie, lol. I needed something to break the thickness but make sure it’s gonna bake well and don’t lose the chocolate taste. Sour cream was where my mind went, but asked my friend Google for advice and found out, that hot water does the miracle.
That’s also where I found out that batter that looks like a brownie is a pretty common thing. That was a bummer, not gonna lie.
I mixed the batter with hot water, made sure it was well combined, and baked it for almost 50 minutes. I must admit- the outcome was spectacular. I strongly advise you to try this Kinder Bueno cake as soon as possible. It can be a perfect fall recipe and also great as a birthday cake for a small group of people.
Hot to make chocolate kinder bueno cake with white chocolate cream:
Chocolate cake
Preheat the oven to 170°C. Grease and line two small cake tins (18 cm).
In a bowl whisk the eggs, oil, sour cream, and caramel syrup. Mix until the eggs are fully combined.
Add flour, baking powder, instant coffee powder, brown sugar, a pinch of salt, and cocoa powder. Whisk the batter until it’s thick like a brownie batter. To thin the batter pours hot water over it and whisk again. It should be like a thicker batter, not too watery.
Pour the batter into the cake tins and bake for 45-50 minutes or until the toothpick comes out clean. Let the cakes cool for 25 minutes, then take them out of the cake tins and let cool completely.
Kinder Bueno Cream
Start by roasting the hazelnuts in the pan on medium-high heat. Roast for 2-3 minutes, you start to smell them and they become brown-black on the sides. Take them out and get rid of the skin.
Melt the white chocolate in a bowl over the boiling water on in the microwave.
Place the roasted cool hazelnuts in a high-speed food processor until they have the consistency of flour. Add melted white chocolate, a pinch of salt, vanilla extract, and oil, and blend well. You should end up with a nice white chocolate Kinder Bueno cream.
When the cream is cool, whip the ¾ of the cream with the mascarpone cream and put it in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Kinder Bueno Cake
When the cake is cool, take both chocolate layers and scoop out the middles of the cakes (not too much). Take the extra cake crumbs into a bowl, we will use it later.
Take one cake layer and spread some Kinder Bueno cream over it, then add Kinder Bueno cream whipped with mascarpone. Put the second cake layer on top and repeat the process. Sprinkle the extra cake crumbs over the cake.
Put in the fridge for at least 5 hours or ideally overnight. Enjoy!
