  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • a pinch of salt
  • 380 g brown sugar
  • 80 ml oil
  • 3 eggs room temp
  • 200 g sour cream room temp
  • 140 ml hot water
  • 1 tsp caramel syrup
  • ½ tsp instant coffee powder

Kinder Bueno Cream

  • 200 g hazelnuts
  • 300 g melted white chocolate
  • a pinch of salt
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 4 tbsps oil
  • 250 g mascarpone

Instructions
 

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!
