Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 8-inch or 9-inch round cake pans.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
In another bowl, mix eggs, oil, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Combine wet and dry ingredients, then carefully stir in boiling water or hot coffee until batter is thin and glossy.
Divide batter evenly into pans and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Cool cakes in pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form. Gently fold in mascarpone or cream cheese. Chill until ready to use.
Melt Kinder bars with heavy cream over low heat or in the microwave in short bursts, stirring until smooth ganache forms.
Spread cream filling over one cake layer, top with the second layer, and pour ganache on top.
Decorate with extra Kinder bars or chopped Kinder Bueno if desired. Chill before serving.

Notes

Use hot coffee instead of water for deeper chocolate flavor.

Chill the cream filling before assembling for best texture.

The cake can be made a day in advance and stored in the fridge.

For cupcakes or a tray bake, adjust baking time accordingly.
