How to make a bird's milk cake according to GOST
How to bake a biscuit
Without separating the proteins from the yolks, beat them at low speed, then with sugar at an increased speed until the sugar is completely dissolved. Pour the flour, stir, pour the dough onto a baking sheet, smeared with butter. I recommend using parchment paper to make it easier to remove the finished biscuit from the baking sheet (this is not used in the original recipe). Bake in the oven until done (t=160°C, 30 minutes). Cool down.
Cream with gelatin for cake
Dissolve gelatin powder in 150 ml of warm water, leave for 30 minutes.
Grind the yolks with 1 cup of sugar, pour in the warmed milk, mix. Using a water bath, bring everything to a boil, do not forget to constantly mix the whole mass until it reaches a viscosity. We cool.
300 gr., soft butter and vanillin are introduced into the cooled mixture. We continue to beat the cream manually with a whisk.
We warm up the gelatin mass a little, then, filter it and leave it alone for a while.
Beat 10 chilled egg whites and gradually add 1 cup of sugar. The protein-sugar mass should become smooth and lush.
At this point, quickly pour the dissolved gelatin into the proteins. Mix thoroughly with a spatula, but do not whisk anymore.
Next, mix the cream from the yolks and the protein-gelatin mass. You should get a consistency like the photo below.
How to assemble Bird's milk cake
From the biscuit cake we cut out two identical round cakes (d = 26 cm). We stir the first cake in a confectionery ring.
We put all the cream on it.
Cover the cream with a second cake and put the cake in the freezer for at least 2 hours.
How to make cocoa powder frosting
Mix all ingredients in a saucepan. We put on fire (weak). With constant stirring, bring to a boil. Use a hand whisk to avoid lumps. Cool down.
We take out the cake, remove the ring and cover it with icing. You can, on top of the glaze, decorate with melted chocolate, which I did. We remove the finished cake Bird's milk in the refrigerator so that the icing freezes completely.
We treat guests by laying out pieces of delicious cake on portioned plates.
It is recommended to cut such a jelly cake into pieces with a sharp and hot knife, which must first be dipped in hot water, wiped with a napkin and immediately cut into pieces of the desired size.
