Step 1: The Chocolate Cake Layers
200g flour
1.5 tsp baking powder
40g cocoa powder
240g sugar
75ml milk
100g Milka chocolate bar of your choice (finely chopped)
200g butter, at room temperature
Pinch of salt
4 eggs, at room temperature
Preheat oven to 160°C. Grease two 15cm round baking pans and line bottoms with parchment paper cut to fit.
In a bowl, cream sugar, butter, and salt with a mixer (using paddle attachment) for at least 5 minutes until light and fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing fully after each until batter is airy.
Gently fold in flour and baking powder with a spatula to keep it light.
Mix cocoa powder with remaining sugar and milk, then fold into batter. Finally, incorporate chopped Milka chocolate.
Divide batter equally between pans (weigh for precision). Bake 30-40 minutes. Test with a skewer—it should come out clean. Cool completely.
Step 2: Cream Cheese Filling
600g icing sugar
300g cream cheese
100g butter, at room temperature
1 pack Milka chocowafer
Mix icing sugar, butter, and cream cheese on low speed until smooth. Crush and fold in 5 Milka wafers.
Spread between cake layers and on top.
Step 3: Swiss Meringue Buttercream
80g pasteurized egg whites
160g granulated sugar
240g unsalted butter, at room temperature
50g white Milka chocolate, melted
Heat sugar and egg whites over a bain-marie, stirring until sugar dissolves (rub between fingers to check).
Whip to stiff peaks off heat. Switch to paddle; gradually add butter until creamy. Mix in melted chocolate.
Spread a thin layer over the cake. Pro tip: Add purple food coloring for Milka's signature hue.
Step 4: Chocolate Drip
100g Milka Darkmilk chocolate
45ml heavy cream
Melt chocolate over bain-marie. Warm cream gently. Remove chocolate from heat; slowly stir in cream until glossy.
Cool slightly before drizzling over cake—test a spoonful first to avoid melting the buttercream.
Step 5: Festive Toppings
The grand finale! Adorn with a mix of Milka cookies, cake bars, and chocolate chunks for that authentic, indulgent look.
