Ingredients
Scale
- 200g unsalted butter, softened
- 200g caster sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 150g self-raising flour
- 50g cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 4 tbsp milk
- 200g Kinderella spread
- 100g cream cheese, softened
- 50g icing sugar
- 100ml double cream
- 200g dark chocolate
- 100ml double cream (for ganache)
- Assorted Kinder chocolates (Kinder Bueno, Kinder Surprise, Kinder Chocolate bars) for decoration
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan/350°F). Grease and line two 20cm (8-inch) round cake tins.
- For the sponge, cream together the butter and caster sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time.
- Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder. Fold gently, then stir in the milk until just combined.
- Divide the mixture evenly between the two prepared tins. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool in the tins for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the Kinderella filling, beat the Kinderella spread, cream cheese, and icing sugar together until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip the double cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the Kinderella mixture.
- Once the cakes are completely cool, level the tops if necessary. Place one sponge on a serving plate. Spread half of the Kinderella filling over it. Top with the second sponge and spread the remaining filling.
- For the chocolate ganache, chop the dark chocolate and place it in a heatproof bowl. Heat the double cream in a small saucepan until it just begins to simmer. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate. Let it sit for 5 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy. Let the ganache cool slightly until it thickens to a pourable consistency.
- Pour the ganache over the top of the cake, allowing it to drip down the sides.
- Decorate with assorted Kinder chocolates as desired. Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for best results.
- Do not overmix the cake batter; mix until just combined.
- For a neater ganache drip, use a spoon to guide the ganache around the edges of the cake.
- Store the cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
