Necessary ingredients

Base
- 4 eggs
- 4 tablespoons of sugar
- 3 tablespoons of milk
- 4 tablespoons of oil
- 3 tablespoons of semolina
- 3 tablespoons of cocoa
- 2 tablespoons of flour
- 2 tablespoons of honey
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder

Cream
- 300 ml of whipped cream
- 3 tablespoons of condensed milk
- vanilla essence (to taste)
- one packet of gelatin (10 g)

Glaze 1
- 60 g of dark chocolate
- 35 g of butter
- 1 tablespoon of oil
- 1 teaspoon of water

Glaze 2
- 150 g of chocolate
- 75 g of butter
- 75 ml of liquid cream

Preparation steps

1. Preparing the base
Start by preheating the oven to 180°C (medium heat).

In a large bowl, combine the flour, cocoa, semolina, and baking powder. Mix the dry ingredients well to ensure they are homogeneous.

In another bowl, beat the egg yolks with the oil, honey, and milk until you achieve a homogeneous mixture. This combination will give the base a rich flavor and moist texture.

In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until they become frothy. Gradually add the sugar while continuing to mix until you achieve a shiny and firm meringue.

Now, combine the two mixtures: add the egg yolks to the egg white foam and finally incorporate the dry ingredient mixture. Use a spatula and gently fold to avoid losing air from the mixture.

Pour the mixture into a greased or floured (20x30 cm) baking pan and bake for 40-50 minutes. Check with a toothpick to see if it’s ready: it should come out clean. After baking, let the base cool completely.

2. Preparing the cream
While the base cools, you can prepare the cream. Whip the cream with the vanilla essence until firm. Add the condensed milk and mix gently.

Prepare the gelatin according to the instructions on the package (usually, it is dissolved in cold water and heated gently). Incorporate the gelatin into the whipped cream and condensed milk mixture, mixing quickly to avoid lumps.

3. Preparing the glaze
For the first glaze, break the chocolate into small pieces and place it in a bowl along with the butter, oil, and water. Place the bowl over steam or on low heat, stirring constantly until it is homogeneous. Let the glaze cool.

For the second glaze, repeat the process with the chocolate, butter, and liquid cream until everything melts and becomes a smooth cream. Let it cool.

4. Assembling the cake
Cut the base into two equal parts. Place the first part of the base on a platter, add half of the cream, then pour glaze 1 over it. Cover with the second part of the base and the remaining cream.

Once you finish with the cream, refrigerate the cake to firm up a bit.

When glaze 2 is ready, pour it over the prepared cake. Make sure it is evenly distributed. Let the cake chill in the fridge for a few hours or preferably overnight to set well.

5. Serving
When you are ready to serve, cut the cake with a heated knife to get nice, even portions. This cake pairs perfectly with a cup of aromatic coffee or a relaxing tea, but it also goes wonderfully with a glass of cold milk.

Useful tips
- A healthy choice: If you want to reduce calories, you can replace some of the sugar with a natural sweetener or use Greek yogurt instead of whipped cream.
- Delicious variations: You can experiment by adding ground nuts to the base mixture or even berries to the cream for a fresh taste.
- A personal touch: Instead of vanilla essence, you can use almond essence to give a distinct flavor.

Frequently asked questions
1. Can I use white chocolate? Yes, you can use white chocolate for the glaze, but the taste will be different.
2. How can I make the cake less sweet? Reduce the amount of sugar in the base and use chocolate with a higher cocoa content.
3. How long can it be stored? The cake keeps well in the fridge for 4-5 days, but it is also delicious the day after preparation.

Calories and nutritional benefits
This cake offers a rich delight in calories but also in nutrients. The cocoa base brings antioxidants, while the cream provides a source of calcium. On average, a serving contains about 250 calories, including healthy fats from butter and chocolate. So, enjoy it in moderation!

In conclusion, this Kinder Pingui-inspired cake recipe is not just a simple dessert, but a true feast for the senses. Whether you prepare it for a special occasion or simply to treat yourself, the result will always be impressive. Try it and turn every bite into an unforgettable experience!
