PARADISO MINI CAKES with CREAM — 7 minutes baking, easy and quick to prepare, a tasty snack perfect also for birthday parties.
The other evening my house was full of my children’s friends, I had zero time but of course they asked me to prepare something homemade. No long cakes, no complicated desserts. I needed a soft, quick dessert that would bake in an instant. And these were born: the PARADISO mini cakes with cream baked in 7 minutes. Super soft, light, with that melt-in-the-mouth texture that immediately gives a “wow” effect.
If you’re looking for soft paradiso mini cakes, a quick recipe for an afternoon snack, single-portion treats for birthday parties or an easy and fast baked dessert, this recipe is perfect. The strong point is the very quick baking time: they are ready in just 7 minutes. That means less waiting, less risk of drying out and more softness.
Follow me in the kitchen — today we have the PARADISO mini cakes with cream, 7 minutes baking.
- Difficulty: Very easy
- Cost: Very inexpensive
- Preparation time: 10 Minutes
- Portions: 6-8
- Cooking methods: Oven
- Cuisine: Italian
- Seasonality: All seasons
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 3/4 cup + 1 tbsp cup all-purpose flour (the one you usually use)
- 1/4 cup + 1 tbsp cup granulated sugar
- pinch salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder (optional)
- 3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup + 2 tbsp cup heavy cream (whipping cream)
- 1/3 cup cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tbsp honey
Steps
Prepare the cream: whip the cream with electric beaters until firm, add the honey and the condensed milk and work with the electric whisk until you obtain a velvety, glossy cream. Keep chilled in the refrigerator.
Beat the yolks with the sugar until you obtain a frothy mixture, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt then gently fold the two mixtures together from bottom to top with a spatula.
Add the sifted flour with the cocoa in two additions, and the baking powder if you use it. Fold by hand with a spatula then spread the batter onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in a preheated oven at 392°F for 7 minutes, remove from oven and let cool.
Remove the sponge cake from the parchment and cut it into squares of 2 3/4 in or 2 in, as you prefer, and fill half of them with the cream using a pastry bag.
Sandwich them together and dust with powdered sugar, keep refrigerated until serving.
Enjoy!

The secret of soft paradiso mini cakes is not only the short baking time, but also:
– Whipping the eggs well to incorporate air.
– Not opening the oven during the 7 minutes.
– Using room-temperature ingredients.
– Not prolonging the baking “to be safe”, because that’s exactly what makes them dry.
