For the cream:
- 200 g Nutella
- 7 egg yolks
- 200 g sugar
- 2 tablespoons of cornstarch
- 1 packet of vanilla pudding

Making the Kinder Bueno Cake

1. Preparing the Base
Start by preparing the base. In a large bowl, beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. Then, gradually add the sugar, continuing to mix until you achieve a glossy and firm meringue. This is when your base will build its foundation. Add the oil and mix again.

In another bowl, combine the flour, breadcrumbs, baking powder, and almond powder. Fold these ingredients into the egg white mixture, stirring gently with a spatula to avoid losing air from the mixture.

2. Baking the Base
Line a baking tray with parchment paper and pour in the prepared batter. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 15-20 minutes or until it passes the toothpick test. Once baked, allow the base to cool completely, then carefully peel it off the parchment paper.

3. Preparing the Cream
While the base cools, you can prepare the cream. Place the egg yolks in a bowl and add the sugar, mixing well. Then, place the bowl over a double boiler, adding the cornstarch and vanilla pudding mixed with milk. Stir continuously until the cream thickens, achieving a consistency similar to pudding.

Once the cream has thickened, let it cool. When it reaches room temperature, add the butter cut into cubes, mixing well after each addition. Divide the cream in half; in one half, incorporate the cocoa to obtain the cocoa cream.

4. Assembling the Cake
Spread a generous layer of Nutella over the cooled base, then refrigerate for 10-15 minutes to let it set a bit. After that, spread the yellow cream over the Nutella base, followed by a layer of biscuits arranged side by side. On top, add the cocoa cream, spreading it evenly.

Cover the cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a few hours, preferably overnight, so that all the flavors blend perfectly and you achieve a wonderful texture.

5. Decorating the Cake
Before serving the cake, whip the cream and decorate the cake with a generous layer. You can sprinkle some crushed biscuits or grated chocolate on top for an attractive look.

Serving Suggestions and Pairings
This cake is delicious served plain, but it can be accompanied by fine ice cream or warm chocolate sauce. For an unforgettable experience, serve it alongside a flavorful espresso or cappuccino.
