Ingredients
  

For the chocolate cake:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder use high-quality for best results
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs room temperature preferred
  • 1 cup whole milk or dairy-free alternatives like almond milk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil can substitute with melted coconut oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup hot brewed coffee or hot water coffee enhances chocolate flavor

For the chocolate frosting:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 cups powdered sugar, sifted
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream or coconut cream for a dairy-free option
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt to balance sweetness

For the chocolate drip and toppings:

  • 150 g dark or milk chocolate, chopped for ganache drip
  • 100 ml heavy cream for ganache
  • 8 Oreo cookies, roughly crushed plus extra for garnishing
  • 6 Kinder chocolate bars, broken into pieces
  • 4 Kinder Bueno bars, broken into pieces
  • 100 g milk chocolate, chopped for decoration
  • 100 g white chocolate, chopped for contrast
  • Chocolate buttons or assorted chocolate candies optional, for extra fun

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two 8-inch square cake pans and line them with parchment paper for easy removal.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  • Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix on medium speed with an electric mixer until smooth. Scrape down the sides of the bowl if needed.
  • Gradually pour in the hot coffee or hot water while stirring on low speed. The batter will be thin, but this ensures a moist and fluffy cake.
  • Divide the batter equally between the prepared cake pans. Tap the pans gently on the counter to release air bubbles.
  • Bake for 28-32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Avoid opening the oven door too early, as this can cause the cakes to sink.
  • Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.
  • For the frosting, beat the softened butter until creamy and pale (about 2 minutes). Gradually add the powdered sugar and cocoa powder, followed by the vanilla extract, salt, and heavy cream. Beat until light and fluffy (3-4 minutes).
  • Place the first cake layer on a serving board or cake stand. Spread a thick layer of frosting over the top, then sprinkle some crushed Oreos and chopped Kinder chocolate pieces.
  • Carefully place the second cake layer on top. Use the remaining frosting to cover the cake completely, smoothing the top and sides with an offset spatula.
  • For the drip, heat the heavy cream in a saucepan until steaming but not boiling. Pour it over the chopped chocolate and let sit for 2 minutes before stirring until smooth. Allow the ganache to cool slightly (5-10 minutes) to achieve the perfect drip consistency.
  • Using a spoon or squeeze bottle, drizzle the ganache around the edges, letting it drip naturally. Spread the remaining ganache over the top. Immediately decorate with crushed Oreos, Kinder Bueno pieces, and assorted chocolates while the ganache is still wet. Chill for 30 minutes before slicing.
