Chicken eggs are a very common allergen, they can be replaced with quail or duck. Proteins need to be whipped in a mixer with a whisk, after adding salt. Beat at medium power until foam appears. Pour sugar (100 g), continue to beat, increasing power. In a separate container, beat the yolks with sugar (also 100 g). Optionally, you can add the zest of half a lemon or orange.
Then we place both mixtures in one container, add flour (200–250 g) and mix thoroughly with a spoon until you get a high-quality homogeneous dough. Biscuit is baked for an hour at a temperature of 170 °. When it cools, it is smeared with cream or cream. After they put in the refrigerator for about 6 hours, so that the dough is soaked.

In fact, there are a lot of options for creating a lot of rainbow cakes, and all of them are insanely popular in decorating a cake for a boy of 10 years and younger.
Layered jelly dessert
A very unusual treat will be a jelly cake. Gelatin is poured with juice or water, after swelling (for about an hour), it can be added to pre-warmed syrup from berries or fruits.
To prepare one color layer you will need:
- 1.5-2 tablespoons of gelatin;
- 2 glasses of juice (white layers of milk);
- 2 tbsp. l lemon juice;
- sugar, cinnamon to taste.
The mixture must be gently mixed until it is converted into a homogeneous mass. Forms of the same diameter are taken, liquid gelatin is poured into them. After he cleans the refrigerator for several hours. When all the layers have hardened, they are laid out on top of each other, and between them a layer of sweet cream cheese or whipped cream is made.
To form a whole cake, the layers will have to be filled in gradually. A deep pan is taken, a green jelly is poured into it, the pan is put into the refrigerator to cool. When the liquid solidifies, yellow jelly is poured on top. The container is again sent to the refrigerator to cool, and so layer by layer. A boy at the age of 10 will definitely like such a colorful cake and amaze his friends.
