Title: Kinder Pingui

Ingredients:
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 cup sugar
– 1/2 cup cocoa powder
– 1/2 cup vegetable oil
– 1 cup milk
– 1 tablespoon baking powder
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/2 cup hazelnut spread
– 1/2 cup heavy cream
– 8 oz dark chocolate, chopped

Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a rectangular baking pan.

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, vegetable oil, milk, baking powder, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined.

3. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

4. While the cake is baking, prepare the hazelnut filling. In a small saucepan, heat the hazelnut spread and heavy cream over low heat, stirring continuously until smooth and combined. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

5. Once the cake has cooled, cut it into individual rectangular shapes. Spread the hazelnut filling generously on top of each piece.

6. Place the chopped dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth.

7. Carefully dip each hazelnut-filled cake piece into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is evenly coated. Place the coated cakes on a wire rack with parchment paper underneath to catch any drips.

8. Allow the chocolate coating to set at room temperature or place the cakes in the refrigerator for faster setting.

9. Once the chocolate is firm, your delicious Kinder Pingui treats are ready to be enjoyed! Serve with a cup of hot tea or coffee for the perfect indulgent pairing.
