Ingredients

For the base:
- 5 eggs
- 100 g sugar
- 30 ml milk
- 100 ml oil
- 50 g finely ground semolina
- 40 g cocoa
- 70 g flour
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 packet baking powder

For the cream:
- 500 ml whipped cream
- 200 g white chocolate
- 3-4 tablespoons Nutella (or to taste)

For the glaze:
- 200 g cooking chocolate
- 100 g butter

For decoration:
- 100 g white chocolate

Preparation

Step 1: Preparing the base
Start by preheating the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Separate the egg whites from the yolks. Use a mixer to beat the yolks with the sugar until they turn pale and become a fluffy cream. This step is essential, as aerating the mixture will help achieve a fluffy base.

In a separate bowl, mix the flour, cocoa, semolina, and baking powder. Add the dry ingredients to the yolk cream, alternating with the milk, honey, and oil. Mix well, ensuring there are no lumps.

Beat the egg whites until stiff and carefully fold them into the mixture above, using a spatula to keep the air in the mix. Pour the mixture into a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow the base to cool completely after baking.

Step 2: Preparing the cream
For the cream, melt the white chocolate in a double boiler, adding 200 ml of whipped cream. Once you have a homogeneous mixture, let it cool in the freezer for a few hours. This will make it firmer and easier to mix with the rest of the whipped cream.

Beat the remaining whipped cream until stiff, then add the melted white chocolate mixture and continue mixing until you get a fluffy cream.

Step 3: Assembling the cake
Cut the cooled base into two equal parts. Before applying the cream, place the jar of Nutella in a bowl of hot water to make it easier to spread. Set aside 2 tablespoons of the chocolate cream and mix them with a tablespoon of Nutella for decoration.

On the first layer, spread ½ of the white chocolate cream, followed by a generous layer of Nutella. Refrigerate the cake for a few minutes so the chocolate can set. Then, add the remaining cream and cover with the second layer.

Step 4: Glazing and decorating
For the glaze, melt the cooking chocolate with the butter in a double boiler and pour it evenly over the cake, ensuring all edges are well covered. Let the glaze set.

For decoration, melt the white chocolate and, using a plastic bag, draw shapes on a sheet of parchment paper. Once the chocolate has set, use it to decorate the cake. This step not only adds an aesthetic touch but also a wonderful taste.

Serving suggestions
The Kinder Pingui Cake is perfect to be served alongside a cup of coffee or tea. Additionally, vanilla ice cream or caramel sauce could complement this delicacy, bringing a contrast of textures and flavors.

Chef's tip
If you want to personalize the cake, you can add a flavoring, such as vanilla extract or almond essence to the white chocolate cream. You can also replace Nutella with hazelnut paste for a different taste.
