Ferrero Raffaello Cake Recipe
Description
This cake begins with an airy sponge made by beating eggs, almond extract, and sugar until very fluffy, then folding in flour gently to maintain lightness. The sponge is baked until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The filling blends softened cream cheese and butter with sweetened condensed milk, coconut flakes, and dry milk powder to form a smooth cream component.
The assembled cake is constructed by slicing the sponge into three layers, each soaked with a mixture of milk and condensed milk to add moisture. Almonds and crushed vanilla wafers add texture between layers along with the cream filling. The final decoration of coconut flakes and Ferrero Raffaello candies complements the flavors and adds visual appeal.
Ingredients
Sponge Cake
- 5 egg
- 1 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup flour
- 1 tsp almond extract
Ferrero Raffaello Cake Cream
- 16 oz cream cheese room temperature
- 1 cup butter softened, unsalted
- 10 oz condensed milk
- 1/2 cup coconut flakes
- 1/4 cup dry milk powder instant
Cake Layer Filing
- 1/2 cup milk for soaking the cake
- 2 tbsp condensed milk for soaking the cake
- 1 cup almond toasted, crushed
- 1/2 cup vanilla wafers crushed
Decorating the Cake
- 1 cup coconut flakes

Instructions
Cake
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, beat the eggs, almond extract, and sugar until it triples in volume.
- Using a spatula, fold in the flour by thirds just until it's combined. Be extra careful not to over mix it batter, or the cake will lose its fluffiness.
- Place the batter into a greased 9-inch pan and bake it for 30 minutes. To check doneness, stick a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, it's ready.
Ferrero Raffaello Cake Cream
- Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, beat the softened cream cheese and butter with the sweetened condensed milk. Next, add the coconut flakes and dry milk and beat until well combined.
Assembling the Cake
- In a small bowl, combine the milk and sweetened condensed milk to make the soaking cream. Set aside. Slice the baked cake into three, even layers.
- Using a pastry brush or spoon, spread each cake layer with a bit of the soaking cream.
- Frost one of the bottom cake layers with the cake cream, followed by a layer of crushed almonds and wafers. Repeat with the middle layer. Stack the two frosted cake layers on top of one another. Top with the unfrosted top layer.
- Decorate the outside and top of the cake with the remaining cake cream, Ferrero Raffaello candies, and coconut flakes.
- Store the cake in an airtight cake container overnight to set and allow the flavors to develop. Slice and enjoy!
