  1. To prepare homemade Kinder Paradiso cakes, start by making the sponge: in a bowl, beat the eggs with sugar until you get a fluffy mixture. Add the melted butter followed by the dry ingredients: sifted flour, cornstarch, and baking powder.

  2. Once you have obtained a homogeneous mixture, pour it into a 20 x 30 cm (8 x 12 inch) baking pan, buttered and lined with parchment paper. Bake at 170°C (338°F) for 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.

  4. Once the base has cooled, cut it in half horizontally and spread the filling on the bottom layer, leaving a 1 cm (0.4 inch) border. Cover with the remaining cake half and press gently. Level the sides with a spatula and place in the freezer for at least 30 minutes.

Variations and Alternatives

If desired, you can flavor the sponge cake batter with lemon or orange zest to add a fresh taste to your Homemade Kinder Paradiso. For an extra indulgent touch, try adding dark chocolate chips to the filling cream – we’re sure this variation will be highly appreciated.

Tips

We recommend cutting the sponge cake only when it’s completely cold, so it can set properly and won’t crumble when slicing. For the same reason, we suggest piping the cream in small, close-together dollops and only at the end gently spreading it with a spatula to create an even layer. Finally, when cutting the rectangles, always remember to clean the knife blade between cuts to avoid smearing the sponge cake and achieve more precise results.

Storage

Homemade Kinder Paradiso can be stored in the refrigerator, in an airtight container, for up to 1-2 days.
