Your ingredients for Kinder Fetta al Latte
For the layers:
- 120 grams of soft butter (at room temperature)
- 120 grams of egg whites (about 4 medium egg whites)
- 120 grams of powdered sugar
- 120 grams of flour
- 6 tablespoons of sweet cocoa (if you have lighter cocoa, use only 2 tablespoons)
For the cream:
You have two delicious options:
1. Condensed milk version:
- 255 grams of condensed milk
- 165 grams of soft butter
2. Quick version:
- 350 grams of liquid cream
- 3 tablespoons of honey
Helpful tip: If you opt for the cream version, make sure the cream is well chilled before whipping it. You can also chill the bowl in which you will whip the cream to achieve perfect consistency.
Preparing the cake layers
1. Start by preheating the oven to 200 degrees Celsius.
2. In a large bowl, mix the soft butter with the powdered sugar until you obtain a creamy and fluffy mixture.
3. Add the beaten egg whites, being careful to incorporate them gently so as not to lose the air in the egg whites. This will make your layers light and fluffy.
4. In another bowl, mix the flour with the cocoa and, if desired, with baking powder. It is recommended to sift this mixture to avoid lumps.
5. Gradually incorporate the flour and cocoa mixture into the butter and egg white mixture, mixing with a spatula until smooth. The mixture should be smooth and glossy.
6. I recommend dividing the mixture into two equal parts. Use a spatula to spread the first half onto a baking sheet, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
Baking the layers
7. Place the sheet in the preheated oven for 4 minutes. It is important to respect the baking time, as the layers should not be too dry or too wet. You will notice that they become shiny and then matte as they bake.
8. After 4 minutes, remove the sheet and let it cool on a rack. Repeat the process with the other half of the mixture to obtain the second layer.
Preparing the cream
9. If you choose the whipped cream version, place the bowl in which you will whip the cream in the freezer for 5 minutes to chill it. This will help the cream whip better.
10. Whip the cream until it becomes firm, then add the honey and continue mixing for another 5 minutes. Your cream will have a perfect, slightly airy texture.
11. If you opt for the condensed milk version, mix the soft butter for 5 minutes, then add the condensed milk and mix again for another 5 minutes. This cream will be creamy and delicious.
Assembling the cake
12. Place the first completely cooled layer on a platter. Spread the cream evenly over its entire surface.
13. Cover with the second layer and use a rolling pin to gently level the cream. Do this gently to avoid breaking the layers.
14. Place the cake in the refrigerator for at least one hour so that it sets and the flavors meld together.
Finishing and serving
15. After an hour, remove the cake from the refrigerator, trim the edges for a uniform look, and cut into equal strips. You will notice that the layers are tender and melt in your mouth!
16. You can serve the cake with a glass of cold milk or a cup of coffee for adults. It is an excellent choice for a sweet snack or a dessert at a party.
Personal tip: You can add a dash of vanilla extract to the whipped cream for an extra flavor boost. Also, for a more sophisticated version, you can sprinkle grated chocolate or chopped nuts on top.
