Homemade cake "Bird's milk" with eggs

Homemade 'Bird's Milk' cake is a delicate treat that has won the hearts of sweet lovers. Its history dates back to Soviet times when confectioners aimed to create a dessert with an airy, almost weightless texture. A fragile cocoa layer and a soft soufflé resembling a cloud create a harmonious duet of flavors. The protein mass caramelizes slightly during baking, giving it a subtle aroma. This cake is perfect for cozy home gatherings, celebrations, and holidays. Its lightness makes each bite a true delight, while the balance of sweetness allows enjoyment without excessive cloyingness. In Russia, it has become a classic, and its name symbolizes lightness and softness. Made with love, it brings joy from the very first bite.
