Preparation time: 20 minutes
Baking time: 30-35 minutes
Total: 50-55 minutes
Number of servings: 12

Ingredients needed:

For the chocolate base:
- 200 g high-quality dark chocolate
- 150 g butter
- 200 g sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 100 g flour
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the milk cream:
- 500 ml milk
- 100 g sugar
- 40 g cornstarch
- 2 egg yolks
- 100 g butter (at room temperature)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For decoration:
- Grated chocolate or chocolate chips
- Cocoa powder for dusting (optional)

Step by step:

1. Preparing the chocolate base: Start by preheating the oven to 180°C. Line a 20x30 cm baking tray with parchment paper. In a bowl over a bain-marie, melt the dark chocolate along with the butter, stirring constantly until smooth. Let the mixture cool slightly.

2. Mixing the ingredients: In a bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar until frothy. Add the vanilla extract, then gradually pour in the chocolate and butter mixture, continuing to mix. Fold in the flour and salt gently to avoid losing air in the mixture.

3. Baking the base: Pour the mixture into the prepared tray and level the surface. Bake the cake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow it to cool completely in the tray.

4. Preparing the milk cream: In a saucepan, combine the milk, sugar, and cornstarch. Mix well to avoid lumps. Add the egg yolks and place the saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly until the cream begins to thicken. Once it reaches the desired consistency, remove it from the heat and add the butter and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.

5. Assembling the cake: Pour the milk cream over the cooled chocolate base, smoothing it out with a spatula. Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours, ideally overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the cream to set well.

6. Decorating: Before serving, you can decorate the cake with grated chocolate or chocolate chips, and for an elegant touch, dust it with cocoa.

Serving suggestion: Cut the cake into squares or rectangles and serve it with a glass of cold milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side. This combination will turn the dessert into a perfect experience.

Possible variations: For a fresh note, you can add a few drops of orange juice to the milk cream or try replacing the dark chocolate with milk chocolate for a sweeter taste. You can also experiment with flavors like almonds or coconut to customize the cake to your preferences.

This chocolate cake with milk cream is not only a simple recipe but also a true delicacy, perfect for any occasion. Enjoy every slice and cherish the moments spent with your loved ones!

First of all, I want to emphasize that if you serve it on a tray larger than mine, it will come out a bit thinner, implicitly closer to the appearance of the original Kinder cake. Alternatively, you can reduce the ingredients. 1. For the base: separate the eggs, beat the 10 yolks with the sugar and vanilla sugar for a few minutes at the highest speed until the mixture is a thick cream. Add the flour, baking powder, cocoa, and semolina (in my case, breadcrumbs). Mix gently... slowly add the milk and oil, add the honey. Gently mix with the 10 egg whites beaten to a stiff peak with a pinch of salt. 2. Bake two layers, one, she says, on baking paper, in the ventilated oven at 165 degrees for 12-13 minutes or in a regular oven at 175 degrees. Let them cool without removing the paper. 3. Meanwhile, prepare GLAZE 1, from all the ingredients mixed over heat, melting them without boiling. 4. Set aside to cool. 5. Whip the cream at high speed until it holds its shape. Add the instant gelatin, which I don't know where to get, in which case I resort to the second option - 2 packets of whipping cream stabilizer. Add the milk (in my case condensed milk), honey, essence, and mix well again. It results in a thick cream. 6. Meanwhile, the layers have cooled, and we move on to assembling the cake: on one of the layers, spread half of the cream, smoothing it very well, using, if necessary, a long-bladed wet knife. Over the cream, pour the prepared glaze, kept at room temperature, then place the cake in the freezer for a few minutes, just enough for the glaze to set. 7. Meanwhile, prepare glaze 2, identical to the first, from all the specified ingredients. 8. Remove the cake with the set glaze from the freezer and spoon the remaining cream on top, leveling the surface very well. 9. Over the cream, turn the second layer upside down, with the paper side up, gently pressing over the entire surface of the paper to adhere the layer to the cream, then remove the paper. The surface of the cake is glazed with glaze 2 and placed back in the freezer until it sets. The chocolate cake with milk cream is cut with a knife always dipped in hot water. It is a delicious cake that resembles Kinder bars.
