200 gm (1 1/2 cup) plain flour*
50 gm (1/3 cup) good quality cocoa powder*
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
400 gm (1 tin) sweetened condensed milk
100 gm (1/2 cup) butter, melted
200 ml cream (7 fl oz/ 3/4 cup)
3 tbsp sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp hot water

Ferrero Rocher Chocolates for decoration

Method:
Line a cupcake or muffin tin with the liners or grease and line the bottom of a 9” round cake tin with baking parchment or grease proof paper.

Preheat the oven at 160C/ 325F/ Gas Mark 3.

In a mixing bowl, assemble the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and baking soda, mix well with a spoon and sieve once to make the mixture uniform or use the stand mixer with the paddle attachment for this purpose.

In another bowl, assemble all the liquid ingredients, the melted butter, condensed milk and cream and beat until well mixed using a hand mixer on medium low speed or using the paddle attachment of the stand mixer.

Stir in the sugar and mix again. Put in half the flour mixture and beat until mixed, about 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the remaining flour and vanilla and beat until smooth and creamy, about 2 to 3 minutes more. Put in the 2 tbsp hot water and mix again for a minute more.

Spoon the batter into the prepared cupcake liners or the 9” round tin. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes if making cupcakes or 1 hour if making the cake in the 9” round tin.

* If you prefer your cakes sweet and if you are making it without the icing then I suggest that you make this cake with the additional sugar.

For the Ferrero Rocher Nutella icing*

Ingredients:
50 gm (5 tbsp) unsalted butter at room temperature
170 gm (1/2 cup) nutella
1 tsp vanilla
375 gm (2 1/2 cup) icing or confectioners sugar
100 gm (1/2 cup) cocoa powder
2 to 4 tbsp milk

Method:

In a large mixing bowl, put in the butter, vanilla and nutella and beat well with a hand mixer. Stir in the icing sugar and cocoa powder and beat using as much milk to get a smooth icing.

Finish the cakes

After the cakes completely cool down, spread the icing on the cake with the help of a piping bag and the desired nozzle. Place a Ferrero Rocher chocolate on each iced cake.

* It is always better to measure flour in a weighing scale for accuracy in baking
