Bûche Kinder Bueno
Instructions:
For the Sponge Cake:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 9×13-inch baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until pale and fluffy.
- Sift the flour, cocoa powder, and salt together, then fold gently into the egg mixture.
- Add the vanilla extract and fold until combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cake is springy to the touch.
- Once baked, let the cake cool slightly, then carefully roll it up in the parchment paper. Set aside to cool completely.
For the Kinder Bueno Buttercream:
- Beat the softened butter and powdered sugar until smooth and fluffy.
- Melt the Kinder Bueno bars and milk chocolate together, then allow them to cool slightly.
- Gradually add the melted chocolate and Kinder Bueno mixture into the buttercream, followed by the vanilla extract. Beat until fully combined.
For the Chocolate Ganache:
- Heat the heavy cream in a saucepan until it starts to simmer. Remove from the heat and add the chopped dark chocolate.
- Stir until the chocolate has melted and the ganache is smooth. Let it cool slightly before using.
Assembly:
- Carefully unroll the cooled sponge cake and spread a generous layer of the Kinder Bueno buttercream over the entire surface.
- Roll the cake back up tightly, ensuring it is even and the filling stays inside.
- Place the rolled cake on a serving platter and cover with the chocolate ganache, smoothing it over the top and sides.
