Cake “Dream of Life” - recipe No. 1
For preparation we will need the following ingredients:
Dough:
- 1-2 teaspoons cocoa
- Half a tea soda
- One glass of flour
- Two eggs
- Can of condensed milk
- 100 grams of butter
Cream:
- 150 grams of sugar
- 300 grams of sour cream
Preparation
The first step is to melt a little, mix it with condensed milk, a glass of flour and two eggs, add soda slaked with lemon juice. Divide the dough into three parts, add cocoa to one and bake each separately. It is necessary to bake each one in the oven until browned at a temperature of 180 degrees. If the cakes turn out thin (small baking sheet), then you can make five cakes. Then you will need to divide the dough into five parts and add cocoa to two - this will be the second and fourth cake layer.
It's better to prepare the cream in advance. Beat the sour cream and sugar with a mixer (4-5 minutes will be enough) and brush the cakes while they are hot. Add cream little by little so that it is absorbed and does not run off. It is very important to use fresh, good sour cream to prepare the cream, otherwise the cream may sour.
You can decorate the top with berries and chocolate. Place in the refrigerator to steep and soak.
Description of preparation:
The cake consists of sponge cakes, which are soaked in light sour cream.
The taste of the finished dessert and the ease of its preparation captivate you the first time. If desired, you can place berries or fruits between the cakes (as well as on top). This dessert takes a long time to soak, so be patient.

Cake “Dream of Life” - recipe No. 2
Briefly about the recipe: Cake “Dream”
Here is a recipe for a delicious homemade cake that is easy to prepare and looks like a store-bought one.
No celebration is complete without cake. Therefore, we would like to suggest you try making this coffee-flavored delicacy.
To prepare the dough you will need the following ingredients:
- Five eggs
- To ensure that the cake is not dry, you need black coffee for impregnation.
- One teaspoon baking powder
- Three tablespoons of cocoa
- Eight tablespoons potato starch
- 200 grams of sugar
For filling:
- Two teaspoons of gelatin
- Two tablespoons of sugar
- ¾ cup strong sugar
- 250 grams 35% cream
For decoration:
- Coffee beans
- Half a glass of 35% cream
Preparation
In order to prepare the dough, the yolks should be separated from the whites. Beat egg whites with 2-3 tablespoons of sugar until a strong foam forms. To make the foam strong and get it faster, you can add a little salt. Beat the yolks with the remaining sugar. Mix potato starch with baking powder and cocoa, and add alternately to the yolks and whipped cream. Immediately place the dough on a greased baking sheet or put parchment paper on it and bake in the oven over medium heat. Use a toothpick to check the degree of cooking. Once the base is ready, remove from the oven and let cool. Then cut into 4 parts.
To prepare the cream, soak gelatin in cold coffee and, when it swells, dilute it in a water bath. Whip cream with sugar. Pour chilled coffee with gelatin in a thin stream, stirring, into the cream and sugar.
Soak the layers of the base with sweet coffee, place one on top of the other, connecting them with semi-hardened cream. Whipped cream is placed on top of the cake and decorated with coffee beans.
You can coat coffee beans with caramel. To do this, brown two tablespoons of sugar in a frying pan, add a little boiling water and mix quickly. Dip the coffee beans into the hot sugar caramel, remove immediately and leave on plates to cool.

Baking cakes
What makes this recipe especially attractive for ever-busy housewives? The Dream of Life cake is made from poured dough. That is, you don’t have to roll the cakes and bake them for hours, as, for example, is required for Napoleon. As a result, we have a clean kitchen without traces of scattered flour, a minimum of dishes that need washing, and absolutely happy children devouring the Dream of Life cake. The step-by-step recipe will look like this:
- A hundred-gram piece of butter is slowly melted over a small fire.
- A standard can of condensed milk is poured into a saucepan removed from the stove with continuous stirring.
- Two eggs are beaten and kneaded.
- A full glass of flour is sifted.
- Half a teaspoon of soda is quenched with lemon juice (so the taste of the dough will become softer) and added to the rest of the ingredients.
- The dough is divided into three parts. If your baking pan is small and you are concerned that the cakes will be too thick, plan to bake for five. A couple of teaspoons of cocoa are added to the dough for one (in the first case) or two (if there are five layers) cake layers.
- The cakes are being baked. Depending on the thickness, each will take 10-15 minutes.
Cake “Dream of Life” - recipe No. 4
To prepare the dough we need the following ingredients:
- Two teaspoons of cocoa
- Half a teaspoon of soda
- One glass of flour
- Two large eggs
- One can of condensed milk
- 100 grams of butter
For cream:
- 150 grams of sugar
- 300 grams of sour cream
Design options
All that remains is to decide what your Dream in life will look like. The top of the cake is usually decorated in two ways:
- The last cake layer is covered with cream (a little thinner than the lower ones), sprinkled with grated chocolate mixed with fresh berries or taken out of the jam and strained.
- The top cake remains uncoated; To decorate it, a glaze is made from white or dark chocolate (the main thing is that it is without any additives and has a high content of cocoa beans). For it, the tile is broken, placed in a saucepan, poured with five tablespoons of milk, and melted over extremely low heat, with constant stirring. After pouring the glaze, when it sets, the top of the head is sprinkled with crushed nuts, coconut flakes or candied fruits.
Finally, all you have to do is wait until the treat is soaked and treat the baby. And adults won’t give up their Dream either!
