Hello friends! I propose a simple recipe for the legendary "Bird's milk" cake on gelatin in the Mocha style.
For a recipe on agar-agar: agar needs 6-8 g, heat with water to a boil, add sugar, boil the syrup to 110 ° and then everything is the same, only faster, because the agar solidifies at 40 °.
Watch the video clip, I tell and show everything there in detail.

Cake Recipe - Bird's Milk
- Prepare the form, I have a 20 cm ring. You can take a split form.
Preheat the oven to 180 ° C degrees.

If you don't want a chocolate sponge cake, replace with cocoa flour (+ 10 g).
- Add water and sugar to 5 egg yolks.
- Stir and then beat until a beautiful light fluffy state.
- Add dry ingredients in two steps.
- The dough should be well mixed without lumps.
- Put the dough into a mold.
Send the mold to the oven and reduce the temperature to 170 ° C.
After 15 minutes, the biscuit is ready.
- Remove the biscuit when the mold has cooled down a little.
- The cooled cake needs to be cut into two parts.
- Soak the mousse gelatin and leave to swell.
- Cover the ring with cling film.
Anyone who wants to give the cake a coffee flavor needs to make a quick coffee extract (optional).
- Pour water and sugar into a saucepan.
- Place the syrup on the stove and bring to a boil.
- Boil the syrup to 115 - 118 ° C degrees.
- Dissolve the gelatin in the microwave or in a water bath until completely dissolved.
- Beat 5 egg whites until fluffy, firm foam.
- Add sugar and beat until smooth and stable.
- Add sugar syrup in a thin stream and beat until firm.
- After that add melted gelatin and after that - coffee extract.
- When everything is well mixed, add a little soft butter.
- Add condensed milk last.
- Mix everything completely with a spatula.
- The mass should be fluffy, but without large bubbles.
- The mousse is ready, the cake can be collected.
- First comes the biscuit, half of the mousse on top, the second biscuit and the remaining mousse.
- Level the surface and move the cake to the refrigerator.
- After about 3 hours you can remove the ring.
- Decorate the cake to your liking, although he is very good.
- I make my favorite icing with vegetable oil and dark chocolate. Usually, bird's milk is not decorated.
Before cutting, it is better to heat the knife or immerse it in hot water and wipe it well.
