There are many different theories about what it means if you dream of cake. Remember, it's important to take them all with a pinch of salt, as dream interpretation is not an exact science.
It's also worth noting that if you go to bed hungry, you're much more likely to dream of food. In this case, the dream might not have any symbolic meaning at all - you could just be hungry!

If you actually eat the cake in your dream, this could mean that company is coming; perhaps in the form of a new relationship or friendship.
You could also interpret this dream to mean that you're in need of comfort, or emotional and spiritual nourishment.

Dreams About Partially-Eaten Cake
The cake in these dreams is often thought to symbolise missed opportunities in your life. This doesn't mean that you actually have missed a good opportunity, but it might mean that you perceive it that way.
General Cake Dreams
