Gâteau de crème de noisette façon Kinder Bueno - Hazelnut cream cake like Kinder Bueno

I grew up in Hungary in the time of Communism, many treats were rather rare like Kinder eggs, Kinder Bueno ... etc. We would recieve these rare gifts in holiday time after someone went to Austria on shopping trips. I still rememberto this day how our eyes and hearts would light up upon seeing these treats!

And with that said, I have an aunt that is very talented at homemade cakes. She ingeniously made up this dessert for us children to satisfy our cravings for these chocolately treats!

My daughter had project in school where she needed to make a recipe at home with her family, write out the recipe and present to the class ... I thought this would be a great idea since it is easy ... something even the youngest of children can do ... and great to share memories one's own childhood ... here goes ...
