Ingredients
This cake recipe uses easy-to-find ingredients that can be bought from a local store or online. Read the Recipe Card for the measurements.
For The Bueno Cake
- Unsalted butter- I have used unsalted butter. It is important to use room temperature butter when baking cakes for the best results.
- Caster sugar- is granulated sugar and dissolves easily with melted butter. You may use coconut or brown sugar as well.
- Vanilla extract– I prefer using vanilla extract over essence as extract adds a strong flavor to this cake.
- Eggs– Eggs add natural structure and moisture to this cake. They help create a fluffy and soft sponge. To make this cake vegan, you may skip adding eggs and add a flax egg or vegan yogurt with oil instead.
- Self-raising flour- Using self-raising flour eases up the baking process. If you don’t have any self-raising flour then, you can always use white flour or wheat flour with leavening agents instead. For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free flour.
- Milk– I have used full-fat milk and recommend using it. If you wish to make this layer cake vegan, use vegan milk or yogurt.
For The Decoration
- White Chocolate Ganache– The white chocolate ganache over the cake not just showcases a color contrast but also adds depth to the creamy texture of this delicious cake. You may also use whipping cream or dairy-free ganache.
- Kinder Bueno- is the star ingredient of this cake. These melt-in-your-mouth crispy wafers add the perfect topping to this decadent cake. You may use any flavor of the kinder.
- Chocolate sprinkles- Add an amazing look to this kinder cake. You may also use colored sprinkles.
- Dark chocolate- I love the flavor of dark chocolate. If you love more sugary cake, either increase the sugar quantity or use normal chocolate instead.
- Oil- Vegetable or sunflower oil works best for this recipe of cake.
Equipment
- Piping bags
- 6” Cake tins
- Cake board

Variations
- Vegan Bueno Cake- You may replace eggs with flax egg with oil and use vegan ganache to make this bueno cake vegan.

Storage Instructions
I would wonder if there are any leftovers for this amazing cake! If you have any, store them in the refrigerator upto 3 days.

How to Make Bueno Cake
Make this yummy Bueno cake from scratch following these steps:
Prep Baking Tins
- Preheat the oven to 160C/320F/Gas mark 3. Start by greasing 2 or 4 non-stick 6″ cake tins with butter or oil and line them with baking paper if necessary.
Mix Wet Ingredients
- In a large bowl, add room temperature butter and whisk for a minute
- Mix sifted caster sugar and whisk it for about 5 minutes or until pale yellow. This step is important as the more you mix well, the creamier and softer the cake would be.
To the above mixture, add vanilla extract. Then add one egg into the bowl and whisk until the egg is no longer visible. Repeat this step for the remaining eggs.
Mix Dry Ingredients
- Add self-raising flour to the mixture and room temperature milk and mix.
Transfer the cake batter to 2 different pans and bake in 2 batches to get 4 layers of the cake. Make sure the cake batter doesn’t have any lumps and has a smooth consistency.
Bake It
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven for about 20-25 min or until the toothpick is clean.
Cake Decoration
- Add whipped white ganache to a piping bag and add it between each layer of cake. Then cover the whole cake with ganache. I like to use a turntable as this makes it easier.
- Use a smoother to smooth the cake. Then, add chocolate sprinkles to the bottom edge of the cake using a spoon.
- Add dark chocolate to a medium-sized bowl and add oil. Heat in the microwave for 30-second intervals stirring in between until the chocolate melts. Stir as it cools to prevent it from hardening.
- Pour chocolate drip on top of the cake and down the sides to create a gorgeous drip effect.
Refrigerate the Cake
- Refrigerate the cake for 30 minutes to allow the drip and ganache to set.
- Once the ganache and the drip have set, add swirls of ganache around the top of the cake using a pipe and nozzle. Feel free to use any nozzle of your choice. I used a star nozzle.
Then, add chocolate sprinkles to the center of the cake and top with white kinder Bueno.
Serve The Cake
Serve this show-stopping Kinder Bueno Cake as dessert, for birthdays and special occasions.

Hi Jen i just discovered your website and am truly amazed by white chocolate ganache. I see in your kinder bueno cake version you used a whipped ganache as frosting also. Does it set hard and can i frost a two tiered cake with the whipped ganache you think??
Hi Avnee, Thank you so much for your kind words. 🙂 Yes, the ganache does set hard. I have used it to frost many cakes, like the kinder bueno cake and I haven’t had any problems. Just make sure you let the cake set in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving and it should be fine. If the weather is extremely hot then find a way to keep the cake cool. Let me know how it goes.
